Entry level mods on a c230k for a Noobster
Just bought a used 05 c230k on friday and I'm ready for some good advice on some entry level performance tuning. I've tried a couple sites but they are mainly dedicated to high-end mercedes models. Looking for a good cold air intake and chip. Then I'll want to slightly lower the ride for a better center of gravity with either eibach or h&r springs and a strut tower to top it off. Any thoughts?

There is lots of info on the W203 forum on this, including stickys. Have you searched there already?

Yes, but most of the mods are for c240 and over. I'm very patient when searching for information but I can't find a decent link for for an induction kit and other parts as well. You're right and I'll keep trying.

I thought you couldn't pulley the 1.8. I keep looking for a cold air intake for this engine but I keep coming up short. Any thoughts?
