C55 AMG
New C55 Owner

Hi all, been registered on this forum for a bit and its already helped me out.
So i thought its about time i posted something...

I previously owned a 1998 230CLK Convertible,
which i owned for around 8 years, which was for me was a very reliable car.
I did a few mods not many this is car, the main one being an Alpine Audio install.

Now have now purchased a C55 and have had this for about 8 months.

There is a few things on the list i would like to do in time
Resonator delete
Performance air filtler
ECU Re Map
Lowering Kit
maybe more but for now..

Any advice or mods suggestions would be great

Get coil-overs rather than just springs. Not sure if you have snow or not.. but I now live in a place that has a real winter. Being able to raise the car up and use a car wash would be nice. Plus that is $700 I could have invested in a proper coil-over system.

Being in the UK, weather wise its all over the place, and if theres any snow, the C55 doesn't come out to play

Ive looked a coil over, not really sure on what brand to go for.
Exhaust, filters and re map first off tho

Can't go wrong with either Bilstein or KW. I think Bilstein is easier to get in the UK.
