Upgrading the Look on my 1998 E320
its stock, and i want it to change...i want a nice body kit, maybe the brabus lip kit, or a WALD kit...
i wanna drop the car, just with what? i want performance, but still have a nice look to it
The wheels NEED to be changed! Im thinking either the BBS RGR in 17's in custom black finish, or the HRE 540's in black in 17's...i do not want to lose this cars handling to big bulky rims, so..does anyone know the weight of the stock rims?
I also want a little more from the engine, so where can i go? my local dealer has a tune shop dedicated to RENNTech....good or no?
the rims?
well the BBS RGR = http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...r_db_ci3_l.jpg
and the HRE 540's - http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z5
what do you guys thinK?
and does anyone actually bout the WALD V2 kit? how much did you get it from, i know there is one guy that has it on this forum from The Wheel Supply, can you please tell me how much you paid for the kit?
and what else do you guys recommend?

ML320, Looking for my S4
well i'll get back to you, i did a power chip on mine and i'll find out how it turns out saturday. I'm doing a dyno. I seggest that you get projector head lights and amg smoked tails. heres some pics of mine.
it compleatly changes the look of the car. Also if you feel like shelling out cash on your car get a gruppe m carbon fiber intake. You will be PLEASED to say the least. After you do that get a remus exhaust and remove the resonators. Also if you feel the need for performance get magnaflow 200 cell cats for better air flow. When you say lower how much do you want to lower it. It seems to me that your getting 17in rims because you want to put a med profile tire on the rim so that they dont bend. So i'm guessin their are potholes in your area. If thats the case change the pads on your springs to #1's all around. If the roads are smooth go with h&r springs and keep the factory #3 pads. After you do rims i do recomend ::just for looks and slight gain:: paint your calipers and get drilled disks to give your car a performance look.

well i iwsh you the best of luck when its all said and done. I wish i could affrd the turbo kit for my car. I hink its cheaper to go out and BUY a 2jz motor and figure out a way for it to run in my car then to turbo mine. Besides my pops is right about turboing a 63k car. not good.
