sctrojans...im in the same category as you are, but for the price that is posted on the web site that you linked to your reply you can get the H&R cup kit which looks like it would be a better choice, but i dunno thats just me 
check HERE for the h&R kit...it also has an average low that is lower than some other i have found

I've heard some not so goid things about the h&r cup kit on club 202. People who've had them on say that its not good for daily drive b/c the spring are so soft (so too low).
Whatever the case may be, I'm running on 19s, so i prefer to stick with a minimal drop as possible.

I ENVY YOU :v yeah sctrojans if you have 19's then you dont want to get a huge drop cuz then you'll have rubbing and cornering problems, i didnt know you had that big of a rim on you ride...sorry but i dont know what else to say other than looking into a different shim size if you dont have that done already

shocks
SCTrojans.
I have a 99 C280 Sport and ended up putting on the Eibach ProKit springs with the stock Sport shocks and the ride is great. It lowered the car about 1 inch and I added the staggered 18 AMG wheels. With the appropriate spring pads I have about a 1 finger gap in the front and 1.5 finger gap in the rear for a nice raked look. The ride is still definitely better than stock but stiff enough when you really want to drive the car spirited.
I don't have any pics up currently but if you want I will try and post some.
Go SC on Jan 4.
Thanks
Mike
