LOL...This is what makes others asking, about how a suspension feels, pointless. I have the H&R cupkit on my C230c and think it is very soft.




Is your tire wear problem on the front/back or both. There are camber bolts available from your dealer for the fronts.

don't know for sure, but many say that some negative camber in the front is good as stock alignment wears the tires unevenly. i have the cup kit also, and i had a good shop align it for me. you can barely notice it, i'll post pics this wekend for everyone to see. a few have asked me for picks of my car, so i think its time. i hope i have time to put on my summer rims by saturday.
