Upgrade Order
My C43 wagon should be here in May, but after doing a bunch of reading I'm looking to do a bunch of mods. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what they would do first and/or last. In no particular order:
- H&R Springs - Spacers for stock 19" black multi-spoke(front 5mm and rear 12mm) - JB4 - Intake(MST or BMS) - Panamericana swap? Am I missing any must have mods? |
So, I am doing similar upgrades and have been working as follows:
*Diamond Floor Mats to protect the carpets *Door Pins becuase the plastic ones are horrible *Dragy in prep for that 1500km end of break in *12mm spacers all around gives it a perfect amount of poke *Flappy paddle extensions *JB4 is here, but I am going to see how well the engine perfroms for about 500km after the break in period *I have ordered a pedal tuner to increase throttle response *I am holding out on an intake to see how the two actually perform amongst owners *I am going collecting black badges and will do a black out on the grille vs. Panamericana swap *Can't lower mine as parking is already a nightmare with my house driveway at a 13+ degree slope. |
Non-run flat tires.

Pilot PS4 tires should be first. Actually any non-runflat tires for that matter.
|
Door pins is a great idea. I saw those in another thread and thought they looked great.
Would a set of PS4's last 3 summers/30,000KM? |

I'd hold off on the pedal tuner. S+ throttle tip in is very aggressive. |

Coincidentally, I shot by this today. Imho I don't think it matches the rest of the car :confused: |
Anyone have preferred shift paddle extension brands or pics? How about blacked out badges? Links or suggestions?
This thread has my interest! Thanks! JasonG |

Am I missing any must have mods? - H&R Springs - 12MM F/20mm Rear springs - Mode carbon spoiler - RWCarbon mirrors - Tint - Blacked out chrome - Blacked out front - Just installed AMG Side sills (removed the cheap carbon ones I had) - JB4 - Is awesome on my 19 so far - Intake also waiting to see results - Backed out the rear section of my roof to make the entire top black - X-Pel front and rockers, and full ceramic coat Here is the results (minus the new OEM AMG side sill upgrade as I do not have any pictures with them on) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...93323277cc.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...50c4c3bbcb.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...d00184b57c.jpg |
Keep it coming boys. Love the pics and getting lots of ideas/parts ordered.
Gordotre, do you have any pics of how flush your wheels are? I thought 12/20 and lowered would be too aggressive/rub for stock wheels. |

I had them install professionally and no issues. |
