02' C230 Sport Coupe w/ H&R Coilovers installed
Got the CO's from Evosport.com for about 200 less then anywhere alse had them. Thanks Ben!
The fronts could still go down 3/4s of an inch.
The last picture is of the adjustable rear camber arms Speedybenz makes. These units are extremely well made.

Hey people... Thank you.
The specs on the H&R site are "Front lowering ~1.2 - 2.2, Rear ~1.0 - 2.0, Part Number 29367-1, Suggested Retail $ 1,480.00 Kit "
I'm used to swerving just because the sidewalls of the RA-1s are so stiff, I have the Eibach sways, and I had H&R sport springs before.
Anywho... the ride is great. It is an amazing improvement over spring strut combo.
I am running about -1.5 degrees camber at all four corners. 2.5mm toe in on the rear tires, about 4mm out on the fronts. The car handles wonderfully now. Biggest improvement is on high speed sweepers, but overall it is a full out improvement. Going to increase negative camber and maybe reduce the toe out in the front a bit.
I can take my favorite HWY on and off ramps a good deal faster now. Favorite one of all I used to be able to take at 55mph and feel safe, I was able to take at 65mph and there was still no tire noise. Could go faster. More neg. camber, and drop the front the 3/4", and I am sure it will only get better. Tire rubs on the lower front spring perch if I lower it any more with the stock wheels. Looking into options now, really don't want to use spacers.

Need to get wheels now..
Going to buy 18" BBS LMs from Harris for the street and OZ supperleggras for comp.
Concerned about one thing, with the stock wheels, I can not spin the front spring perches all the way down. The perch and tire make contact.
Anyone running CO's w/the front spun all the way down? What wheels? No HRE's please
