I JUST GOT my brand new '03 CLS, and already I'm hunting for the necessities! Does anyone have any good suggestions for sites selling good aftermarket performance parts for the CLS? I will probably pop in an INJEN air induction system right away, but I was wondering what everyone else though about "must have" mods. I'm most concerned about performance.

headers, look for the thread w/ comptech pricing. it would also be cool to get the comptech icebox instead of the injen intake. if you have $5000 burning a hole in your pocket get the supercharger, that would be unique. sway bars and springs would be high on the list also. welcome.

Type S

try

Welcome to our happy family. Did you get the 6sp?

if i had it to do over it would have been tires first...

If you got the auto... then get the headers/intake/exhaust.. in that order. If you got the stick... I don't think the headers fit (yet)... so you can go with the intake and exhaust.

From there I'd drop it and pop on the sways. Right after that you'll NEED new tires to hold the road.

Good luck and welcome aboard!!

Thanks for the advice guys! The car is the 6sp (are you kidding?! auto vs. 6sp!?! No brainer there!!!). I was thinking that exhaust should be right up there on my to-do-list. Do you guys have any suggestions as far as brands go?

There are a handful out there... almost all are axle-back, which is all you need on this car. I went with the Comptech's, but some people like the HKS better. I thought they were too big for my car.... but they do look sweet on the CL-S. There's no real gains from the exhaust, so I'd go the header/intake route first.....

The first thing i put on my car whas the wheels and tires, the spings and sways are next.Then i want somekind of brake upgrade. The manual CL-S is fast enough already, so you should make it handle and stop before you make it go faster. Enjoy!!!
