2009 C63 AMG - Steel Grey
I now got over 250 miles on car since ECU upgrade and now the car runs totally smooth and normal. It really drives great and the power difference is very substantial. It pulls very, very hard
For anyone who is debating about Kleeman I highly suggest them and their product.

Thats a hard question as I find the first 3 gears really fun, I honestly havent really gotten on it above that yet, as by the time I top out in 3rd I am well above any legal limits?? I find that traction becomes an issue in the lower 3 gears, and I am now debating on doing a LSD upgrade as my car doesn't have the PP package. I am going back and forth between the OS Guiken unit and the Quife unit, so we shall see..

I'm leaning toward the OS Giken. I've heard nothing but good things about it, even though it costs big $$$, but worth it. I think the best place to buy it from is through evosport.

yes Evosport is who I am leaning towards as well, they seem to have the best price and Simon seems like a good guy. Are you going to have them install them as well or are you going to have some other place install? If so what price have you found for install?

Don't know yet who I'm going to have install it. I think it'll probably cost close to 1K though. I'm guessing evosport could recommend someone up here, but I haven't got that far yet.

You guys could try Cantrell Motorsports in Kirkland. I had them install my KW V3 coilovers, and they did an excellent job. A lot of the Porsche guys use them. They quoted the cheapest price out of 4 shops as well. Like Even Money said, I'm guessing an LSD will cost at least $1k to install as well.
One of these days we should have a track session at Pacific Raceways or something. Too bad you guys couldn't make it out to our little AMG meet a couple weekends ago at the drag strip.

I'm interested. My timeline is sometime between now and the spring, 'cause I'm also looking at winter tires, K1, coilovers, new rims....but when I get the LSD it's gonna be the OS G. So let me know what you find out. Maybe if you know some others we could get a group buy and discount on the install??

Thanks on the info. How do you like the ride after the coilovers? Yes I would love to set up some kind of a track session. Be fun to be able to really drive the car like its meant to.... Although I would really need the LSD installed before I can do it right. How much noiser was your car after you installed the Headers? I am still deciding if I am going to go for the K2 or just stay with the K1 only????

i know this is a stupid question, but i know the K1 is just the tune. But what is in the K2 and how much HP and TQ does it add and how much does it cost? and the K3? if you could answer, thanks.

the best guy to answer your questions would be Cory from Kleeman on all the specs and pricing. He has some threads on here already with all your answers but I cant Remember which one it was, Sorry....
