Elite,

I have this kit. It takes quite a while to install. I dropped my car off at the shop at 7am and got it back at 4pm (same day). The cost does vary from shop to shop. I paid around 600.00 for install + alignment. I highly recommend getting an alignment done because of the camber adjustments to your wheels.

Also, check and do research on shops dealing w/ high end cars, not some cheap local mechanics. In my area, I checked w/ the MB dealer, and they were willing to do the job, but charging more than i cared to pay. Check w/ your dealer and see what kind of price they give you.. All in all, I am quite pleased w/ the ride, look and feel of the cup kit..good luck

its 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. additionally, i would use either #2 or #1 pads in the rear (available at dealer) to give it an ever drop. i have #3 pads it the rear is slighty higher that the front. if you like this setup, just keep the stock pads.

If the shop knows what they are doing, you shouldn't be charged more than 3hrs labor. It shouldn't take them that long but that would be about the right price.

I had guys who knew what they were doing, and I took them less than 3 hours total. Don't do the alignment till you get a few hundred miles in and the parts are all settled.

$600 for installation???? How did you get it done so expensive? I got mine installed for $200 then did the alignment at dealer for $160. That's $360 total and the ride is very good.

My front doesn't drop as much as the rear which the look isn't that impressive. I don't know if other cupkit owners have the same problem but two of my other friends' C sedens with cupkit have exactly the same problems. One of them end up cutting the front spring to elimate the front wheel gap.
