How much is installation for shocks and springs?
I was thinking of purchasing shocks and springs. Can Anyone tell me approx. how much they paid for installation? Also What can i do to make the car faster? I already put in a K&N, removed resonator, and have an eissenman exhaust. Do I need to have the computer or something recalibrated because of the increased airflow?

Currently, there aren't any cold-air intakes made for CLKs (that I know of), however one should be realeased within a few months. With that and the exhaust, an ECU remap would help. While the ECU should automatically adjust the fuel/air mixture (to mb specs), it won't change the timing or any other function that could provide more additional power than your mods themselves (IS THIS CORRECT ANYONE?) You want to get one that's custom made for your mods inorder to get the most out of it.

Install usually costs from $300-500 with alignment. It's best to pay the extra $ if it makes the difference between a quality job and a mediocre job.
