Most of the power is locked by the exhaust, to get that power out go with the Kleeman or MBH long tube headers, eurocharged shorty headers are an option but provide less power. Further down the exhaust the primary cats are a huge bottleneck, go with 200 cell metal core primary cats, 100 cell secondary cats (or no cats at all, monitors can be turned off using STAR for no CEL), gut the stock airbox or go with Speed43 airbox (increased plenum volume), underdrive pulley, lightweight front rotors (7lb lighter per wheel). You also forgot about the rear diff fluid.

great video. I've either done or plan to do all of the items you just mentioned. I only need to do pads, rotors, and brake fluid as of now. I would recommend changing the trans electrical plug as cheap insurance when you do the fluid and filter. I might also suggest changing the conductor plate in the transmission when you do the fluid. The speed sensor is known to fail. I also disconnected the return line from the trans cooler and flushed the fluid. The old stuff was disgusting.

I think the factory split 12 spoke amg wheels with the slight lip looks good! I personally like wheels that have a little more meat on them rather than super skinny spokes. With thin spoke wheels I always catch myself looking at what's behind the wheels other than appreciating how they match the car. Unlike a 95 civic there is nice stuff to look at behind the c55 wheels tho so. Thanks for sharing Alex almost makes me want to stray from my M cars lol maybe 😛

Factory 18" wheels with proper performance tires is all you need. As for the brakes, the aluminum calipers have corrosion buildup on the inside which is causing the pad to get stuck and not properly move in and out, but you already knew that. Of course the dealer will tell you that you need new calipers but all you have to do is scrape the corrosion off and free up the space around the pad so that it moves freely.

Looks like a nice solid car there Alex. From my experience those silver thrust arms are kind of a early weak/failure point in the w203 with sport suspension. I've gone thru 2 sets after 225k miles of normal use. I find it easier to replace the whole arm, it comes w 2 new joints plus peace of mind arm is not bent. I also replace the black control arm while I'm at it since that bushing cracks too but not as bad or early. Also check the sway bar bushings, they tend to squeak and make weird noises when the start to fail. Definitely my W203 C230 is a lot easier to fix than my W211 E55.

A Lowly Chevy Camaro, at a small fraction of the price, will leave most anything Mercedes has ever made in the dust on the Ring.
