C43 Suspension

Hi everyone! My first post!

I'd like to ask you guys what you think the best suspension is for the C43 '99. And, what other parts make a suspension upgrade complete besides just the springs. I'd want to do it right the first time if i'm going to upgrade at all.

In addition, I am a composites fabricator and I'd like to know if there were any parts for the C43 that are in need of carbon fiber fabbing.

haha... A little searching can go a long way. Sorry, no need to continue the suspension thread.

You could probably make a killing building CF airboxes.
Myself, I'd be interested in a replacement front engine cover (the one with the AMG logo on it) in CF to complement the RENNtech airbox I just put in.

That RT airbox you just put in looks great! I'm sure it works well too. I don't want to step on RENNtech's toes trying to re-engineer an airbox, but if anyone has an extra engine cover they'd like to donate to make a mold, I can see if it can work out.
