Default Hello all....... did I mention I LOVE my C43!
I've been a proud owner of this awesome car for 5 years now and can only say I've never been happier with a sedan.

Hi welcome to the site! And no you haven't mentioned it before but I can see why you love it!

What size of those wheels?? How's the ride with those?

C43? 202.033 with a 113.944 engine always loved it, you can get the Kompressor out of a 113.990 engine which is in the 211.276(E55S AMG) direct bolt on, it would be nice to see that modification on more C43s, or you can go turbo =), but factory modifications are good enough.

sorry for the delayed response!

Those are 19x8.5s up front w/ 2253519 and 9.5s out back w/2653019 The ride is smooth after they warm up (a little bumpy for 2-3 miles) but I wouldn't give them up for anything. I think they emulate the original Monoblocks well and give a true "HAMMER" look.

I have been pretty content with the all around package on this car (power / handling / brakes), but, something along the line of what you mentioned would DEFINITELY be enticing. Is the factory ECM capable of compensating for this mod or does one need to go with a piggyback or complete stand alone to achieve this? I would love to hear from someone that has done this enhancement with "factory parts" or might you have a link? Scott

there are a few factory parts that you can install into your car from other vehicles, but with some parts you may have to tune your ECU.
