Mark,

Is your C230 is a "compressor" engine version? I can get you a complete ASP pulley kit with MAS kit for $700. You can also have it install by me for only $50 if you don't mind the drive to San Diego. Drop me an e-mail at ldnguyen1970@hotmail.com if you are interest.

There is a KLEEMANN authorized dealer in L.A. by the name of Steckman Brothers as well. They can set you up with any KLEEMANN products you desire.

There are many Carlsson dealers in LA if you want wheels, they don't import any performance goodies to the U.S. For performance pullies and other goodies check out their websites -

www.vaeth.com (Germany)
www.opera-design.de (Germany)
www.kleemann.dk (Denmark)
www.aspracing.com (USA)
www.renntechmercedes.com (USA)
www.brabus.com (USA)
www.chip-tuning.com - Wetteraur (USA)

You best bet is to post in the W203 forum and ask people there what they actually have/use and their experiences. If you are not sure which one to get, get one of each and dyno them and return the ones you don't use.

Mark,

We can supply you with any of your Carlsson, Lorinser or Kleemann needs.

In fact, we are doing a w203 Kleemann install for a EuroTuner Magazine feature article this week. You are welcome to come by and see the kit.

Thanks

Brad

Mark,

You can go to:

evosport
15608 Graham Street
Huntington Beach, California 92649

Speak with Vadim or Tom to see the Kleemann installation.

Or you can call 888.520.9971.

Carlsson is all special order due to the US importer's lack of desire to actually import anything. We can discuss the options over the phone or in person.

Thanks

Brad

Mark,

Since Brad can get you the Carlsson kit that's the way to go, it comes with 3 pulleys vs. 2 with kleeman and it also includes an air filter and it comes in a lovely shade of blue. Go for it and report back, nobody has been able to get this kit on any forums, even the C-Coupe forum, www.csportcoupe.com.

Way to go Brad, finally, someone will have the Carlsson kit.
