might buy a c32, what are BPU mods for this car?
Hey, I'm very interested in buying a c32 amg. What are some basic performance mods i can do for this car? Right now i drive a supra, and i found a buyer who is going to buy it for 45k. I was choosing between the e46 m3 or the c32, but as of right now, I'm leaning towards the c32. O ya, are their full coilover kits for this car? Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm really really new to the euro cars

if you get a C32...you won't have to get a complete suspension kit. a set of spring from H&R will be enough.
like you before i got my C32 i had look for the E46 M3 as well. after quite a comparing i found that the M3 will cost more if i want feature to feature on both car and what really put me off is the coupe set up of the M3. although i did have a 2000 BMW 328CI, i just can't take the uneasy entering and exiting the car anymore. also note that with two doors i'll have to find bigger parking space just so that i can open the damn door.
you won't regret it if you do get a C32.

Out Of Control!!
Currently, the only complete suspension kits are the H&R cup kit and the Kleemann Speed-Sensitive Suspension. Of the two, I'd choose the Kleemann Speed-Sensitive Suspension. It is the only Mercedes suspension that's shock can independently self-adjust instantaneously to the stresses placed upon them. It is both more comfortable than stock, and outperforms all the other suspensions available for the Mercedes.
H&R doesn't have release date set for their coilovers, however we anticipate it to be sometime late summer.
I would recommend that any time you change your springs to change the shocks as well. It is not absolutely necessary, but your stock shocks will wear quickly with stiffer/lowering springs, and the ride quality isn't the same as when matching the springs to a Koni or Kleemann.
If I can be of any more help, feel free to email me at ben@evosport.com!
Thanks

I think the only thing a new exhaust would do is change the tone. Some people think it should sound loader/throater.
There is unlikely to be any power increase - AMG does a good job.
