Vic/Ronin and others - is there a NYC-area shop that is as well regarded for tunes and lowering/widening as the place(s) that you guys use in LA?
Current plans are to lease my wagon, but the idea of having real fun with mods like yours may entice me to purchase instead.
I dont know of any since I dont live there but I have no doubt there has to be a bunch. You could post a question like this in the C63S forum and you will get a ton of intel.
Remember its a post cat and like my GTS and other owners its similar to pulling a resonator on the M157 soundwise. Ill be the guinea pig with Serge and then you can decide. I really wish I did NOT have the acoustic pack.
anyone cut out these secondary cats yet !? I want to do this and very curious if it sounds a lot better w the sport exhaust and doesn’t throw a code ! Mine is lowered on ghost links blacked everything out have a set of 21 inch hre classic 300 and zito 20s in gloss bronze comming. Tune and some exhaust work hopefully comming soon! Anyone know of a front lip yet !?

I'm sure you could send your ECU to BenzWorks for the tune but a tune on a lease and mods would not be the way to go when you need to turn it in..
I decided to make my car a keeper so I'm in project mode now.
The car will need some splash guards [mud flaps] soon and Mercedes doesn't offer anything for the AMG body I was told.
Does anyone know of any for the 2018 AMG wagon ?
I’ve got a set of 15mm H&R spacers for the front. What brand are people using in the rear for the 12mm?
thanks!
So the big issue over on the C63S side is the size of the snouts on all 4 hubs... they are too long so a shorter spacer will not lock in. But the E63S is different as I just found out and the rear will take a 12mm perfectly (check my thread about my car as I posted pics of the 12mm spacers). 15mm is great up front and actually leaves a bit of room even on a lowered car and 12mm in the rear is about spot on with my drop.
I am using SupremePower's spacers on both axels and have been using them on a lot of my cars including but not limited to:
RS7
R8
C63S
M5
M4
Bentley GT3R
Ferrari FF
etc
They are sponsor here and from what I was told their quality is a level up on the H&R along with the bolts. The bolts are very important as well as you know.
Immediate plans for tomorrow is tint, Renntech Lowering Module, 12&15mm spacers and titanium lugs.
Next is HRE one piece wheels
- Custom Downpipes
- Custom Tune
- Brabus Exhaust (not out yet)
- Brabus Front Bumper Accents
- Possible Turbo Upgrade
- Upgraded Intercooler Set Up (don't know what this will be yet)
- Ported and Polished exhaust manifold maybe????
- Spark Plugs
- Possible Meth Kit
- I will also be considering an upgrade on the fuel side although I am not sure what can be done yet.
I will definitely be doing a lot of testing on the car and spending a lot of time with the ECU tune. I am really looking forward to what this car will be able to produce.

A nice set of carbon fiber fender lips/splash guards would be nice in order to run a 10" wheel and 295 tires up front and 12" wheel 335 tires rear would be nice.
