Someone else with an E300Turbodiesel. Just did some mods to my Euro '97. AMG Monoblocks 7.5*17 with 235/45 Continentals, straight fit. Also K&N Air filter (quicker response from gearbox and turbo). Fully synthetic oil (even quicker response). Chipped by www.superchips.co.uk to 200bhp+. Just as quick now as the new E320CDI,which is selling here since May. Have not tried any suspension mods but I would like to tighten it up further. Interested to hear how you get on. Since new tyres/wheels went on one problem has become worse. Excessive noise/play in the front suspension/steering bushings. Only 57k miles but driven very hard on bad roads. Have heard of replacement teflon bushings. I'd try them if I could track them down.
