Help me choose please!

Hey everyone... Trying to decide what to get right now... Thinking a lot about some KW Coilovers Stage 2... I think there around 1500?... Anyone know a better estimate?... And im just about to order a Lorinser rear lip spoiler too... Thats already been taken care of... But should i bail on those two mods for one Brabus front bumper?... I really just dont know...

Or a Brabus rear with a Brabus exhaust?..
-Would need a new rear cuss i cut mine for my Remus exhaust... So yeah...

I think you should jump on the brabus front bumper instead. unless you have a amg bumper, then get the euroteck cf lip and get a rear spoiler!

Do you already have wheels? Here's the order I did mine and hopefully it helps you a little in your decision:

1) Lowering
2) Wheels
3) Lip
4) Front Bumper ( I have the oem rear with a Brabus Muffler that I got before the front bumper because that single exhaust was hideous to me)

Hope this helps you a little.

I just got the c320 suspension (Tein SS coilovers) put on my 03 CLK 500 and it rides a lot better than stock.And yes, the C320 suspension will work on the CLK (209).Hope that helps.

The C and CLK share's the exact same chassie.The only difference is that the CLK is 400lbs or so heavier than the C320. My shop has have put tons of the C320's suspension(Tein SS) on many CLK's before,that's why I have let them work with my car.I also looked into the KW coilovers before,but have found out many ppl have gotton many issues with the springs rubbing when they lower there car too much. Believe me, Tein SS is the best way to go overall.You won't regret it I'm on my stock 17' amg wheels and the tires are almost tucked,and the ride is a lot better than factory.

Nope...and the settings are set to ride a tad stiffer than oem.My shop setted it for me,but I can always adjust it how ever I feel conftable with just by turning the knob on top the shock.

The reason why the settings are set firmer up in front is because the clk's engine is 400lbs heavier than the c320's.For the rear,they're exactly the same for the 320's and clk's.Hope that answer your questions.

Just like every other coilover's.You need to jack up the car,and turn up or down the coilover sleeves.
