Nice car!

I merged all five of your threads together into one thread. You can post more than one pictures in the same thread, just post one and hit reply and post another, just as you did with the first one.

You know what, I asked Brabus @ Newport Beach and they won't tell me

He told me that their springs, shocks and suspension setup are all custom tuned...He said he couldn't disclose that information. I had all my work installed there. But yes, the springs ere changed as well...

That sucks!!! The set up is sweet on your car, not too high and not too low, its just right!!! Question: Has this drasticly affected the ride quality? BTW, very nice; must be hard to give this up!

nice interior...is it called the designo mocha or something?...

although it is a lot more expensive for the designo package but i think it is very worth it. i would've get something like that is the designo are available for the C32, instead i only got the AMG two tone in charcoal with merlot (dark red) insert. not as nice as the designo but it'll live.

Mocha brown is the exterior color....

and two tone AMG leather on a C32 is definitely no slouch!!! That probably looks sweet!! And yes, it will be very hard to get rid of this car. The ride is pretty comfortable, yet very tight on the corners. It handles nice!!

I agree, they should offer the standard two tone ruby/charcoal interior on the C32, the same interior offered for the E55 AMG. Hell, they should even offer the Crimson/Charcoal AMG interior which is offered on the SLK32 AMG or even the Red/Charcoal interior offered on the CLK430.







I love how the two tone is for the entire interior, not just one small part of the seats. I also love the brighter red, rather than the Merlot offered to us C32 owners.

WOW!!! The Red/Charcoal in that pics is a bit much, don't you think. I might be alright with it if the dash and steering wheel were not Red. BTW, I've never seen a 430 with that interior before, do you know if it was only offered in a certain year?

i would've been more happy if the door panel leather insert is also in merlot red. i think if AMG did that the interior would look much better than it is now.

Yup, it was available on the CLK430 for the 2002 model year. You can even goto MBUSA.com and build your own CLK430 with it. Oddly enough, the red interior is not offered on a Magma Red car, only Brilliant Silver.

Thanks for the info. Accord. I would like to see a 430 with that interior, but I don't think there are that many of those arond. I wonder if anyone has the number of CLK's that were produced with the Red/Charcoal interior? If anyone has this info. please post info. or link to site. Thanks again!!!

I have the designo too! It is simply irrisistable! The minute I laid eyes on it, I had to have it.

It looks a lot better with the NAV though. Too bad it was not available.
