getting car track ready
hi all,

i'm going to start tracking my 07 CLK550 coupe, and wanted to get some input on what to do to make it track ready. besides the obvious (brakes, tires, fluids), any specific areas you would suggest checking out?

thanks!

Shed some weight -CD changer - GONE! Back seat - GONE (better yet, replace it with the Black Series shell). Spare tire - GONE!

Probably not a million, but here's the parts list:

I checked parts.com and they don't carry it, so it looks like dealer only. Or, you could have someone fabricate it for you.
