I need some input from you guys, which is more worth it to buy a coilover which is not out in the US yet ( do any body know how much ?) or to buy a h&r cup kit or to buy a spring and shocks.
I want my car to looks low ...

i got a cup kit installed... the car looks much more lower in the back!!cup kit is the same as springs and shocks..... so ill go with the cup kit if i were in your position.. (actually i was..)

if you want adjustability, there is no comparison, get the coil over. you will be able to go much lower if that is your thing.

have your rear spring spacers put in and it will level out your kit. it your rear is lower, the installer removed the spring pads.

The Cup Kit is not the same as Springs & Shocks. The springs from the cup kit are lower and the shocks are matched with the springs.

I would rate coilover the best, then cup kit then spings & shocks. But the ride of coilover is VERY rough, be prepared!

If I want to lower the front but only lower the back by half what's the best setup.

Coilovers are not necessarily a harsh ride, it depends on how the shock valving is. With that in mind, companies design product to maximize sales. I would doubt that an extremely harsh coilover will be developed for the C class because it's a Mercedes, most people want a Mercedes-like ride.

Ben,

I agree with you that the coilovers for MB will not be as harsh as coilovers for....maybe a VW. But if you put a set of coilovers on a C240/320, to an ordinary owner, he will feel VERY rough. Some members in here said they found it rough even changing from 16" to 17" wheels.

Kleemann Spring in rear and H&R spring in front that way you lower 1.3" in front and only about 1/2" in rear

My opinion is the Cup Kit. The only reason why I put the AMG shocks back on is I found the H&R shocks not as stiff as the AMGs.
