best drop options

HI there i want to drop my C230K with the H&R springs they say that they lower on average 1,4 and 1,3 inch's depending on the options. In my case i have the most basic c230K 2002 model. Could someone confirm those drop figures?

Also i talked to my MB dealer and he said i had to change my Shocks as well. Is that true? and which is the best Aftermarket shocks quality/price wise.

And if any of you have picture of your ride with a drop setup ide love to see it. blackbeard700@hotmail.com is my email. Thank you!

H&R cupkit is the perfect drop for the coupe, but it is very stock like in the ride/handling.

You have a coupe? If you have a coupe the cupkit will not be listed for that model type... but you can install the cupkit thats listed for the 4 door sedan model... It will fit... Part # 29367-1
