Mercedes-AMG & Mercedes-Benz build guide · E-Class · CLS · S-Class · CL · A-Class · AMG GT

The Mercedes-AMG build guide. Staged the right way.

Twin-turbo V8s, a hot-vee six, a turbo four in the A220 and a front-mid-engined GT: the Mercedes range is wide, and our catalog is honest about where it is deep. What we stock and install for these cars is brakes, suspension and fitment; intake, exhaust and ECU work for an AMG is shop-sourced and quoted. This is our stage 1, 2 and 3 parts list built around that: real parts we have, chosen to work together, installed and aligned in-house in Coral Springs.

Stage 1 · Mercedes stage 1 parts list

The daily-plus foundation.

Stage 1 on a Mercedes is brakes and fitment, because that is what our catalog is genuinely deep in for these cars: a street pad with real bite from cold and less dust than the factory compound, rotors when they are due, and H&R Trak+ spacers that pull the wheels out to where AMG should have put them. All of it works on the stock calibration, and none of it gets thrown away when you move to stage 2.

Stage 2 · Mercedes chassis parts list

Sharpen the chassis, in the right order.

Our Mercedes stage 2 is the suspension the catalog actually carries: H&R sport springs for the W212 E63 and C218 CLS63, a sway bar kit for the A220, KW’s height-adjustable spring kit for the AMG GT, plus the two real hardware items beyond that, a CSF heat exchanger for the M157 cars and the one exhaust system we list, Akrapovic’s W213 E63 cat-back. For the E53, CLS53 and S63 there is no suspension online yet; we source and install it. Intake, exhaust and ECU work for any AMG here is shop-sourced and quoted, not an add-to-cart item.

Stage 3 · track prep parts list

Track prep: control before power.

An AMG is quick in a straight line from the factory. What decides a track day in Florida heat is whether two tons stop on lap eight the way they did on lap one. Our stage 3 list is two-piece and lightweight rotors, race compounds for the AMG GT and the 6.2 CL63, a drilled-and-slotted front kit for the E53, and the one true coilover we carry, Bilstein’s EVO S for the A220. Coilovers for the AMG sedans, and anything involving turbos or pulleys, is a custom conversation with the shop.

Show & stance

Fitment that photographs as well as it drives.

Every car on this page runs 5x112 with a 66.5mm bore, so the premium wheel catalog is open in the 19in and 20in staggered sizes the AMG sedans and the GT wear best; the A220 sits happily on 18s and 19s. We spec wheels, tires, spacers, drop and alignment as one package, mounted on scratch-free equipment and Road Force balanced in-house, with the offset done right so the rear arches fill without rubbing under compression.

  • Wheel and tire packages spec’d for 5x112 Mercedes fitments
  • H&R Trak+ spacers sized per axle, hub-centric with the right bolts
  • Sport springs matched to the wheel setup, air suspension and Ride Control kept working
  • Hunter Road Force balancing and expert alignment

Installed in-house

Parts are half the build. Installation is the other half.

Everything on this page can be installed, set up and aligned in our own shop. Springs go on with the self-leveling rear and AMG Ride Control or Airmatic left working, spacers are fitted hub-centric with the correct bolt length and torque, pads and rotors get bedded properly, and every suspension change ends on our Hunter alignment system so a lowered E63 tracks straight instead of chewing its rear tires.

  • Lift work, brake and suspension installs done in-house
  • Air suspension, Ride Control and self-leveling aware setups, no warning lights
  • Hunter alignment with corner weighting for lowered and coilover cars
  • Road-checked before the car goes back to you

Sourcing the parts the catalog doesn’t show

Intakes, downpipes, full exhaust systems for the 6.2 and 5.5 V8 cars, ECU and TCU calibration, pulleys and turbo upgrades are things we source and install for AMG customers directly rather than list online. The same goes for suspension on the E53, CLS53 and S63, where nothing is in the catalog yet. If your plan needs them, send the car details below and we’ll quote the complete package with installation.

  • W212 or W213 E63, E53, CLS63, CLS53, S63, CL63, A220 or AMG GT
  • Air suspension, AMG Ride Control or steel springs

Mercedes questions

Before you order parts.

Will springs or spacers upset AMG Ride Control or the air suspension?

Not if they are chosen for it. The H&R springs on this page are the versions built for the self-leveling rear on the CLS63 and the steel-sprung W212 E63, the KW kit for the AMG GT keeps the factory adaptive dampers, and spacers do not touch the suspension electronics at all. Tell us whether your car has Airmatic, AMG Ride Control or steel springs and we’ll map the list to it.

Why is this list mostly brakes, springs and spacers?

Because that is what our online catalog genuinely covers for these cars. Every Mercedes on this page has real brake fitment in stock; suspension is deep for the A220 and thin but real for the W212 E63, CLS63 and AMG GT; and the E53, CLS53 and S63 have almost nothing beyond brakes yet. We would rather show you six parts that fit than pad a list with wiper blades.

Do I need a tune for stage 1?

No. Our Mercedes stage 1 list is pads, rotors and spacers — all of it works on the stock calibration, and none of it gets thrown away when you move to stage 2 later.

What about intake, exhaust, downpipes and ECU tuning?

We install all of it, but apart from one Akrapovic system for the W213 E63, AMG intake, exhaust and calibration parts aren’t listed in our online catalog. They are shop-quoted: send the model code and what is already on the car and we’ll price the complete package with installation.

Can you install and align everything here?

Yes. Every part on this page can be installed in our Coral Springs shop, and suspension work is finished on our Hunter alignment system with corner weighting when the car calls for it. We serve enthusiasts across South Florida, from Boca Raton and Parkland to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Mercedes parts

Which Mercedes are you building?

Our catalog lists Mercedes fitment by model year and model, so E63 and E63 S parts appear together for a generation while the 53 cars sit apart from the 63s — check each product’s fitment notes for the exact chassis code. Set your exact year in the catalog to narrow further.
