People on this board drop the tail too far. Very bad for high speed stability. FrankW's car is set up correctly.

You'll be fine...and you can use use the MB springs and shocks from C230's since they have a lower stance and AMG suspension...they are lower than stock, but i would use the shocks/struts from MB and springs from Tein or Eibach....

why would you spend 1000 on a camber kit? just get ghostriders camber kit for less than 200. You could also search the classifieds for some springs, installing springs isnt too hard to do just need the right tools.

Dont see why you'd install the coilovers and not the springs. Youre going to have to take the hats, washers, and bumpstops off the OEM suspension to use on the coilvers. It just depends on if you plan on adjusting your height and dampening alot if you want coilovers or springs.
You could also get some springs + some Koni Yellow strutsr. You wont be able to adjust your height but you'll be able to adjust your dampening.

I'd choose Ksport over Megan coilovers IMHO. Megan never does any events where they prove their products. Ksport has participated in drift, road, and etc. They did the Modified challenge in their RSX last year.

since you dont have the SS suspension I say go with a set of OEM SS suspension for looks and comfort and they're pretty cheap in the classifieds. But if you want to go lower than that I'd go with Tein springs with Koni yellows since they're adjustable in dampening
