We carry the Mercedes flat hood emblem. As far as what to spend your money on, what is the most important to you? Personally, I think that changing the suspension in a Mercedes can make the car tremendously more fun to drive. We offer small upgrades, such as our underdrive pulleys which will add 13HP at the wheels. Or, a little less than your total, you can change the rear differential, and greatly improve the car's acceleration.

I can help you with any performance questions you may have, feel free to call me with any questions.

been looking on this board a bit more, and i'm so happy *tear*. i finally found a place to call home.

mach, about these pulleys, what are they. i couldn't find any info on the evo website. can you forward some info to my email. thanks.

p.s. most definately will go suspension first. h&r springs, bilstein shocks, just like my old 93 190 2.6.....unfortunately this sweet little ride went to heaven before i could look more into mods for mbs.

speed is what i need, but want to keep n/a. any suggestions
thnx

Can you trade or sell the car and use the extra $5k to buy an 99 E55 AMG? 1999 E55's are going around $40k.
