CKS Performance is offering sprint booster discount

I have been sending emails back and forth to CKS Performance the past few days and was able to work out a deal with them. Its actually not much of a deal compared to what slkfans.com was offering, but they have sprint booster's in stock for both manual and automatic.

here is their website:

www.cksperformance.co.uk

for further questions, you can contact Chet at:

sales@cksperformance.co.uk

their original pricing for one was £179.00 plus £22.00 shipping. once converted to USD, the price comes to $391.57 which was insanely expensive.

i posed the possibility of a group buy of at least 5 people and they dropped the price to £135.00 ($262.99) which includes shipping. (i realize this isn't that much of a discount compared to slkfans.com, but they do have it instock and are very responsive)

I just need 5 people who are interested... anyone with me?

Has the majority decided that this was worth the $262? If so, then I guess I am in...I am a bit hesitant because I don't know what it does...

Anyone use this on the 2006 C230 V6?

Put me down for a AUTOMATIC. Also, ask them what they will do if we can get 10. I am going to ask some friends.

it is basically device that modifies the signal sent from your throttle to the ECU that makes the throttle response much better. to my understanding, it opens up your throttle more quickly with smaller deflections in your pedal. there are no power gains, but it just makes it more fun to drive and can possibly increase your 0-60 from what i've read.

the price isn't better than what others have offered, but to my understanding... its hard to find this product.

if we get 10 people then i will ask Chet if he can cut us a better deal... but i would like to wait until we have at least 5 people first.

i heard that some people put the manual sprint booster in their automatics because it is more aggressive (but then again, some say its too agressive). if you still want me to put you down for automatic, let me know...

I'm down if, and only if, we can get a better deal than the price listed for 5 people. I think we could get at least 10 people on this forum to do it.

Many people including myself dont even know this group buy section existed. I would put something up on the C class section saying Sprint Booster sale and linking them to this thread. Im sure there are people that don't even know we have this going on.

Nope. Please don't do that. There's a whole reason it was moved here in the first place. If anything, make a post in the Sprint booster thread that already exists and let people find out.

Midnight Komp,

Now we have 5,

1. Midnight Komp (manual)
2. eunosracr (manual)
3. jinijazz (manual)
4. mhphockey (automatic)
5. dsc (automatic)

We may save $10 more by waiting forever, but I'm fine with $260ish.
I'm with dsc, I'm in only if we go for it soon.

we now have 6 people and i am emailing Chet at CKS Performance. I will also ask about any further discounts if we can increase the number to 10 people because I know that some of you are still deciding because of this:

1. Midnight Komp (manual)
2. eunosracr (manual)
3. jinijazz (manual)
4. mhphockey (automatic)
5. dsc (automatic)
6. METC240 (automatic)
