Finally!! I pulled the trigger!!

I was looking at a black C43 for a while and last week I found a White one with 43k miles on it. Most of you who are looking for C43 maybe know which one I'm talking about.
Here are the pics I got from the seller.
I need some trunk emblems badly. I ordered some stuff before I got this car but now I'm looking for more and more... haha the mod bug bit me again..

Thanks a lot guys!! The way back home from Houston Tx to Scottsdale AZ took about 1500 miles...It was a joyful ride. I love the torque on this car and accelerating from 80mph to 100mph took about 4-5 seconds!! I wished the suspension was a little stiffer... I've already ordered Vogtland kit but they're out of stock... If KW V2 had the camber kit with that price I would've pick that up with no thinking...

C43 suspension is pretty stiff.... did you try this website for the Vogtland springs? This is where I got mine a little over a month ago:

Talked to Adam (previous owner) and he explained very well why he's selling
it. He's also an avid MB ///AMG fan that's why he kept the car all original
except for the wheels. Bottomline is you got yourself a great car.

Congratulations!

If you want to be serious and get good results with your suspension, I recommend the KW V2 kit as it gets excellent comments by those who have done the upgrade . Concerning the camber arms (rear), you can get some good stuff from a member on this forum who also posts on here too Check out his site here : http://speedybenz.com/
