Hey Guys ,

so i just got a new to me isf 2008, comming from a c63 amg i kind of like it more.

I'm looking for some mods and help

so i read everywhere that BC coilovers best one to go with. If someone is selling them ill buy them


and then for exhaust i guess its personally choice, i was thinking of doing just Muffler delete


NOW my real problem i want a real deep concave wheel i dont mind rolling my fenders please help me with wheel size and offset

Thanks

BC coilovers with Swift springs are a great balance of performance and comfort, and can be purchased through one of the vendors here (FIGS). But there are other name brands that have a more performance aspect to them, including KW, Penske, and Ohlins.

There are a few options for the exhaust as well, as a popular one is the Joe Z catback. Borla is another one that is common. ISS Forged has two different exhaust setups, but I believe they are discontinued, so finding them used and in the classifieds might be an option.

A really concave wheel might be hard to pull off. Will this be a show car? Or more of a daily driver? Is there a size that you're looking to get? These are some of the questions you have to answer before even shopping for wheels. There is a tire/wheel calculator on the forum in the tire section. Play with that a bit to see what you're comfortable with in terms of sizing.

Best of luck!

Curious as to why you left the C63 and came over to the F???

i loved the car had it for 4years but after time i started hating the interior of the car it was so blah other then the seats which i loved , and i just wanted the change alot of people here are saying if you do cat delete and muffler it will get you close to the c63 sound that's good enough for me

As for the ISS Forged exhaust you can still order it to have it built. 3k total including shipping for the QES and 2800 for the DES.

Congrats and Welcome.

I run the KW V3's on my 2011. Also with 20" vossen CV3's. Had to roll the fenders professionally, but well worth it. KW's are a little boncy but handles like a dream.





Hope this helps.

what is the offset of your wheels im guessing there 20x9 and 20x10.5

I'm running bc coils with swift springs 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 AGs f421 spec2 had to trim fender lining up front a little but no fender roll in the back ,

rubs a little on big dips that's it tho, I wanted the deepest concave too but could only get a 3inch lip in front and 4inch in the rear

Congrats! Go with joez exhaust, HPS intake and radiator hoses (depending on mileage but age is affected as well). Bushings, suspension and shocks/springs/coilovers & brakes go to figs.

Here is my 08, there's going to be a lot more change over the next 6-9 months (Aimgain over fenders, new suspension, mad sized Volk gtc's, some interior changes and another diff setup)

I'm looking at getting vossens but everyone is running 20x9 upfront, trying to do a 20x10 upfront just dont no how i feel about a 15mm spacer upfront to make it work only offset they come in is 45
