![]() | C280 Upgrades Hi, I own a 1999 Mercedes Benz C280 Sport Sedan. I was wondering what kind of upgrades were available and what kind of extra performance I could expect. Performance now isn't bad, but for what I would like it is a little shabby, topping out around 131. I was also wondering if anybody knew the speed the stock tires are rated for, I am not sure if my tires are just getting old or if the high speed driving has worn them down. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! |

![]() | Re: C280 Upgrades Thanks. Anyway, I'm just not that impressed with the performance (although it is no slug), and I love the interior so I'd rather keep this than get a tuner. |

![]() | Re: C280 Upgrades You may want to check with Brabus. I think it is one of the more reputable tuner for a Benz. Having said that, I do prefer to keep the car stock as well.

![]() | Re: C280 Upgrades Nothing on Brabus's site for the C280 =( It doesn't have to be a tuner company. Any links to parts or performance kits would be acceptable as well, since I could install it myself of have the local mechanic help out. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: C280 Upgrades You should check out the performance products from Kleeman if you're looking for a brand name Mercedes Benz tuner. For your W202 C280, they do offer various performance upgrades for your engine. Options includes a supercharger, headers, (maybe camshafts), ECU re-program, exhaust, upgraded suspension/springs, etc. Their website is: http://www.kleemann.dk/site
