I dropped the car with the H&R cupkit, thanks to Harris. I love this setup. It rides just as smooth as stock but handles alot better. Their is only slight camber in the rear and believe this, I didn't even need to get my alignment done.

yeah, same here... i think it depends a lot on the design of the rims and the color of the car. my carlsson 2/5 18s look like 16s to me.

Nice. Any problems going thru speedbumps? I'm thinking of putting H&R coilover & just leave the setting at the highest so that I don't have to worry everytime I have to go thru speedbumps.

Thanks for the compliments :)

I don't have any problems going over speed bumps but I'm using the cup kit, not the coilovers. As for Tariq's question, the cup kit came with everything. It included 2 struts, 2 shocks, 4 springs, and even new mounting bolts. I was also very concerned about the ride quality, but like I said before, it rides very smooth.

Thanks polar240 for your answer...

I feel fine now when i get the answer from you..

but one things.. where did you change that?? At the agent or any workshop???

The problem is I change the Springs in the workshop but dont know what they did to my car i got notic saying ESP, BAS, ABS problems.. I think they broke the senser on that system, thats why its not easy to fix this things..

also about the cup kit, Which brand is the best and usefull with good price and gives the car sexy looking??

also see this page after processing:

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/h...Suspension+Kit

Is this parts which i must get to make it as yours?
Also about the Quentity should i make it 4 or only one which come for all tiers??

Thanks in advanced and I appreciate your help

polar: are you in Toronto?

that GM car on the corner of the first pic has bluish specs on it.. seems like its Ontario.

...so, if you ever see a guy in a silver C240 oggle at your car, that would be me

Tariq, yes that is the part (H&R cup kit). I also had the ESP, BAS, malfunction come up on my dash. The dealer said that they had problems with those sensors. They changed them for free. Don't worry, alot of C classes have had that problem before you.
Hey Pokerface, I'm in the GTA area too. Let's try to get a meet happening.

Yeah I wonder how big the GTA contingent is. Even if it's not entirely a W203 group, a meet would be cool.
