Mods on a 430
Hey guyz, if u were to spend $5000 on a CLK 430 which one would u choose?
1. Top of the line 19's
2. Alpine/kenwood DVD/CD/TV/MP3/GPS system
3. performance mods like exhaust,cpu etc...
I already have H&R/Bilstein on it so I dont need any suspension mods. Thanx

But with the options you posted the wheels should be first IMO.

Why dont You go with 18inch wheels that will cost you about 3500 with tires, for really nice ones. And also get a RBTech(1500) exhaust or eissenman for like (600 installed). Remove the resonator if you get the eissenman. I have the eisenmann, although it sounds nice, it doesn't look as nice or sounds as loud as the RB tech. Actually if you can get your hands on a supersprint exhaust for a clk430 (They dont have one yet) that would be your best bet. And it would probably be cheap like 500 or so. Ne Way Thats what I would do with 5000.
IF you get an exhaust for like 5-700, you will still have money to put a really nice sub and amp in the trunk, which you can always upgrade later by getting a face etc....

One day I'll get wheels, but I've got a different surprise coming first. If you do the wheels, do the suspension. Bigger wheels tend to give the car a higher look, and that would counteract it.

That's not the surprise, but yes... that's coming too. Want to donate to the Get Mach430 A Kleeman Foundation?
