Best mods hands down

Hey guys I am looking for a nice drop and better handling. Whats the best setup on these cars? Top 3? Also what site carries all the best stuff and is trusted by you guys? I need a little guidance and my question is too broad for search as I did try. Sorry

If money isn't an issue, KW clubsport or v3 coil overs are the best imo for handling plus u can drop it as u like. Not sure which site as everything I did to my previous c63 I purchased at a custom shop that I trusted

Goodluck!

First mod i did on my car was the H&R coilovers. I used to live in chicago at the time and the road wasn't all that good so I was only lowered about 1.5" (springs only do .75-1" i believe) but since now that I'm florida and the roads are real good I adjusted them with the full drop about 2.2" around.

H&R worse than KW V3?


Are there strut braces, etc for this car?

Well theres a reason the KW v3 are $3000 vs $1500 for H&R! But the H&R is good an Im happy with it. It is still a reputable brand.

Renntech has strut braces, there are some on eBay as well but don't know how good those are

V3's are by far the best. Those coupled with a nice Limited slip diff you will be ecstatic how the car handles.
