'02 C230K Coupe
I'd recommend the cup kit. Either that or make sure you get a set of sport shocks to go with your springs.
After installing my H&R springs, I noticed that my handling performance went WAY up, but my ride quality slowly suffered as my stock shocks are now slowly going flat. I'm planning on buying a set of either H&R sport shocks or Koni adjustables at the end of this summer. (any thoughts?)
As a comparison, my friend got a cup kit on his BMW 3-series, and I noticed when riding his car that the suspension is nice and stiff on the corners, but the ride quality remains high as his car takes bumps a LOT better than my car.
CitronC230K_03: I believe that Tariq's rims are 17". Anything smaller (like my stock non-sport rims) looks out-of-place with the agressive lowering.

Tariq: Thanks for the pics.
Do you happen to have a side view of before the cup kit install with those AMG styling III??
Btw, do you have a Euro stock suspension set up or US stock suspension set up for the C-class in you country? The different I believe is for Euro set up, the front is lower a little bit than the US set up. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks again. I really appreciate it
