Hello all,
I am pretty new to euro market. I have already lowered my 99 C280 sport with H&R sports and bilsteins. The drop is not really that low and ride comfort is too rough.

I am thinking about swapping in an H&R cup kit. I have friends with this kit on 3 series and the ride is pretty good. I figure this kit is designed and tuned to work together.

Does anyone have experience with this kit on their W202??
Any pics of the drop?? PLS HELP!!

Thanks

mercedes uses the "spring pad system" and u can lower it further by going to the dealer and requesting thinner and thinner pads.

lets say the pads u have now are #4's just for argument's sake. well u can go to the shop and request/buy #3's and it will lower the car.

i do not know the stock pad number/height. i do know some people use bigger pads in the back and lower in front for that hotrod dtm look.

as far as comfort goes, i have heard on this site (here and other forums) that h&r's have a non-comfy ride. but, watch, there will be a ton of folks who will beg to disagree with this statement, so it must be a matter of opinion and relativity.

thanks and good luck bro,

ps - i bought eibach springs and have bilstein sport shocks with 18x8 lorinser (heavy d93's) wheels. i will let u know my outcome... i guess when u lower and go bigger rim/smaller tire, u can never expect it to be too nice of a ride, but there are some who claim that their ride comfort was great after lowering with both of our setups. could be the tires too, i realized different tires make a difference on ride quality.

later.

would 45 series tires fit with 18in rims? i dun like 40 series, i think it looks to skinny and makes the car look like it has no *****. plus id be afraid to bend another rim. with thicker tires, i think it would look sicc!
