Where did you get the european amg suspension? Thanks.

"SpeedyBenz" makes a custom racing suspension that makes our cars handle like it on rails.

Tried speedybenz.com and the only product in the camber arms which allows you to adjust the rear camber. No doubt a good product but a suspension is composed of more than just camber arms.

The car is unreal with this suspension.I would believe it's safe to say it that 99% of the drivers will never be able to drive the car to the limits of this suspension.

911 vs C43 vs C32

I have a 911 and a C36 so I feel qualified to comment. I am not sure you can compare a 911 vs the C class Benz body. The Benz has a real 4/5 seater. The 911 you can only sit kids or small people in the back, and then for short periods only. If its a fun car with no need to seat 3 or more then go the 911 as the capacity to thrill is higher.

If you need more practical but still with some thrill go either of the C class AMG's you suggest. Don't rule out a C36, still a great driving car.

c43
Hey where can I find more information on adding HEAT to the rear sits? has anyone actually done this and how much? Is it easy to do, or do I have to take it to the stealer? Where can I buy what I need?
