Hi guys,
I'm soon to be a 03' CLK55 owner.
In the meantime, i've been checking out some possible upgrades and came across some parts that are listed on the AMG official website. In the AMG performance studio, i came across several upgrade options that is available officially by AMG(I guess it must be done when you order the car) and i would like to get some feed back.
1) Wheels
Option 1
AMG Multi Spoke Design with Conversion Kit(i think its the Style 5 DTM style model)
8.5 x 19 ET30
9.5 x 19 ET31
Question - Does the converstion kit means AMG uses the ET43 offset(from my data, AMG only makes ET43 offset for the 19' model for the multispoke Style 5 design) model and includes a 13mm and 12mm spacers for the front and rear respectively?
Option 2
AMG Style IV multipiece with modified dampers on the front axle
8.5 x 19 ET30
9.5 x 19 ET31
Question - Does anyone know why they need to modify the dampers to fit in those wheels?
2) Suspension
AMG Performance suspension
- includes springs and shock absorbers
Question - Is this an upgrade to the current CLK63 set-up? Does anyone know if the CLK63 sits lower than a CLK55
3)Interior - Sports Steering Wheel
AMG Performance Steering Wheel in Leather/Alcantara and AMG Shift Paddles - not available for CLK55
Question - Is this true? I remember reading the some previous post that a F1 safety car Alcantara steering wheel was available for the CLK55. Does anyone have this?
I got all this from the following link

Thanks for taking the time to read my questions.
