Available mods for C63
I been trying to see what other performance mods can be done to the C63's.
I am starting a list, please add anything I have missed out.
1. ECU Tune - various companies
2. Headers - various companies
3. De-cat, X-pipe - various companies
4. Exhaust - a few but none with significant gains
5. CF airbox - Carbonio & Renntech
6. Pulley - Evosport
7. Cams - any in production?
8. Throttle upgrade - any with proven gains?
9. RAM air intake - Gruppe M (still not sold on this - too expensive)
What else am I leaving out?

Lightweight two-piece rotors were one of the best mods I've done on my car. Nearly 40-lbs of unsprung weight savings. -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-2010-c63.html
Lightweight wheels also make a world of difference, especially up front. -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-2010-c63.html

I have the KW V3 coilovers, the car feels like it lost 1000lbs, the handling is so responsive and crisp, awesome mod. The car also looks much better in my opinion.

Forgot about Drag Radials. They are the #1 mod for the dragstrip in my opinion. -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-2010-c63.html
Might as well throw the LSD in there too. -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ferential.html

I had the stock setup so the original ride was pretty smooth. Never found the stock setup harsh. For the KW, its fully adjustable in height (front), rebound and damper so it will be as harsh as you want it to be, or smooth as you want.
Right now I'm at mid level, stiffer than the stock setup, but not something to really complain about. What I learned driving it is that the springs are much stiffer than stock, but the shocks are simply amazing. This is why it feels so great, smooth on the bumps and super responsive in the steering.
Very satisified so far on the street and the track.

By the time all is said and done, I'm sure every single part of this wonderful engine will be explored and exploited with aftermarket upgrades. Only question is: how far, and how much $$$, are you willing to go?
