12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
Normally any w202 estate chassis should do, but be prepared for some complications as the brakes are different, transmission, harness, radiator, etc., etc. and the list can be pretty long 
I have a w202 c240 estate and I will be swapping the old AMG springs and shock onto that vehicle next week, since I have upgraded the 43 with KW suspension parts.

even if on bad road surfaces, I may get a loose tooth filing from time to time, but the positive side is a 100 times more than some short "bad" moments from time to time

I have an unrelated question maybe you guys can answer: I now have a 2002 clk55 motor in my c43----when i search for horsepower figures on this motor, I get either 347, or 360ish---what does it really have?
