2003 CLK 32K
Thanks, guys..

well, I haven't actually compared to a stock CLK320. so I don't have the figures. However, I enjoy the acceleration that Kleemann S/C has brought.

AS to the caliper, it took me quite some time to have all the problems settled. I found a local brake supplier called "winnerpower", probably heard in the U.S...

My suspension setting is stock, it's to protect my wheel from the rally-class road condition we have here in Taiwan.

Just to share my experience with those who love mercedes.

After the gathering last Saturday, I really feel that your car looks much better than mine...my cousin also thinks that your CLK looks

alex: did you change your front spoiler?. It looks like the amg or the clk500 design.

Do you have the part # to the amg calipers + rotor?. I saw a pair on the weekend and am thinking of getting it>>>> not sure if it will fit. Someone told me it is for the w203 model, so need to confirm with you. The "AMG" is painted on the caliper, correct?

Lastly, you have some tw url about tuning to share?. Thanks

Basically, All the tuning parts available here in Taiwan are world-known brands. You should be able to get them from overseas through internet or other channels easily. What you should really look at is the tuning skill in Singapore. A good workshop could save you money and time.

The brake system I install on my car is the one for SL55. The "AMG" is printed on both front and rear calipers. The rotors are from "Winnerpower", a Taiwanese brake supplier. Factory SL55 rotors needs to be modified to fit in W209. The stuff you saw might be the one for C32 and CLK55, 4-piston caliper in the front and 2-piston caliper in the rear. Those can be fitted onto W209 without difficulties.

And lastly, the front bumper is from AMG, I have the whole bodykit on it including the rear spoiler and CLK55 muffler.

Which kits are you going to swap ?
KW ? leak problem you should know, Brabus is good between ride & handling,or go for PSS-9
Oh, your AMG muffler sounds really deep....very impressive

Jimmy,

Thanks...but to be frankly, M3 is a nice car and at the current satge, I don't think I can outrun it.

In Taiwan, Kleemann owners try very hard to squeeze more power out of the engine. In our club, the fastest C32k could compete with 400hp C32 and M3. I haven't decided whether I wanna go that far.....

I haven't got a chance to make a comparison, but Shine may have experience encountering one of the C32k in our club before his Kleemann S/C is fitted. Shine, wanna tell us some interesting stories??
