Evolution 1/Kleemann K1 Upgrade question??
Hi, I am thinking of upgrading to either EvoSport (Evolution 1) or Kleemann K1 for my 2003 S55. Which one of these packages can deliver bigger bang for the buck? Pros and cons in your opinion. I know Evolution 1 package is around 4k.. any ideas on how much is K1? I had gone the their website but they don't list out any prices but refer you to their local dealer. Can you guys also recommend a dealer in the L.A./Orange County area? Thanks.

Also, check out the E55 and SL55 forums, lots of those guys upgrading the 55s.
