Springs & Shocks
I don't see anything specific for our car on the "suspension forum.
Has anybody found a suspension modification of both springs and shocks? It apears that H & R has just springs. Any feedback on these with factory shocks?
It looks like Kleeman has both.
Any feedback including cost and installation would be appreciated

If you lower your car, you should change to shocks of the corresponding length. The stock shocks can be too long, and may not be stiff enough. Koni adjustable shocks and Bilstein gas filled shocks are very popular. H&R and Eibach retailers can help with the selection of shocks.
The Kleemann suspension is reported to be outstanding, but it will set you back about $2000.

Thanks for the comments guys
After doing a lot more research I have found out that with a good set of springs you can get vastly improved handing without changing the shocks. If the car is lowered around an inch then you don't have a problem with the length of the stock shock. I am having Kleeman springs installed in a few days. I'll let you know what I think. We can always change the shocks later.
Also having a Kleeman pulley installed

Any problem with the alignment? Can it adjust back to the factory spec both front and back. Is the alignment adjustable for both front and back (both camber and toe)? I'm refering to C240 w/ only spring not the cup kit. I'm shopping for the spring now (I might go with H&R).

Anytime you lower your car you should get an alignment.
Can it adjust back to the factory spec both front and back?
