base vs sport package

z319

Thanks for all the info. I drove nothing but MBZ (all pretty old models) for my past 15, 20 years. I did have a 87 300zx and 911 turbo for very short period of time. It is about time to get some changes before I get too old. Maybe I am too old for this already! I still own 5 mbz at home, my DD is a 94 E420, V8. Very solid car. 560 sec, sel, 500sl and E350 are the others.
Just in the planning stage. really get exciting after seeing some tasteful mod cars here by you guys. Thinking about either red or blue. after market front, rear spoiler and skirt. Exhaust system, intake. that is about it for me, I believe. So sport model should be good? + spacer to push out the rims futher.

yah, but if you're going for aftermarket front and skirts, the factory wheels might be too weak even with spacers. i recommend getting the sport package, do the mods you want, lower it, and sell the sport wheels. at least you get the bigger brakes, syncro rev match and others.

Sounds like the right way to go for what you want to do with the car. The sport package will help resale as well, not sure if that is a concern for you

You are in the same boat I was. I just ended up getting a base due to the price + mileage on the car was a very good deal. As far as modifying it.. ive done the stereo, exhaust, and have a aftermarket wing + front lip hopefully shipped to me soon. I plan on going to 20'' tire and dropping the car 1-2 inches (simple swift spring thing..tho I need to learn more about it)..and depending on the aftermarket wheels I get..i may or may not need spacers.

you'll also want a bbk. otherwise youre going to have a gaping void inside the 20" barrel to your tiny base rotors.

another reason the sport package is worth it, for the akebono's.

bbk? sorry, new here.

As far as the body kit, you buy the whole set or Ok to get them separately?
Cost wise, help me here:
1. sports with AT 36000+/-
2. Front lip, skirt, rear spoiler ??
3. Exhaust system ???
4. Intake??
5. wheels n tires ( as suggested by TerribleONE) ?? but will stick with 19" with proper offset, see some nice members rims here again!

Thanks again.

Mod costs all depend on your budget. For the above, that will run you $6,000 for average quality and over $10,000$ for high quality . Wheels/tires/exhaust are your big purchases. Body kits is where the price will change the better quality you go with or CF.
