those with H&R cup kits,

is your suspension too soft? if you push down on the rear of the car, does your suspension go down?

i.e. when i push down on my CLK, it barely moves a mm.. while on the C, when i push down on it, i can almost get it low enuff that the top of the rim is level with the body.. is this normal for a lowered suspension?

I aint no expert but that doesnt SOUND normal but hey I aint a cup kit owner. Maybe that is why you rub a lot though? Or did you solve that problem?

LOL.. i was waiting for the challenge, i challenged a few people and lost all of 'em.. i realized the site is full of ricers or those who don't understand our cars..


anyways, yes i am still rubbing.. like hell. and no, it doesn't sound normal, i am going to have to call peter and ask him what to do 'cause by principal, i don't want to pay for double labor for something that's defective.

Then it has to be the cup kit. I have a friend w/cut springs in the back(which equates to a soft bouncy ride)and he rubs A LOT even though his drop overall is just like mine but I got stiffer Koni's. Yet I dont rub. Why not just get coilovers? It's been a while since you been complaining man-symphaties out to you
