Did you know H&R makes many of Carlsson's springs?The Carlsson coilover is a good setup, but it isn't designed as performance oriented as the H&R. Plus, with the H&R coilovers being designed for the street, there is no sacrifice in ride quality. Justin rode in the car last week, what do you think?

Performance and comfort(ride quality) are at opposite ends so I'm guessing you were trying to say the H&R were design for the best balance of performance/comfort. I have driven a C wit H&R COs but for some reason the Carlssons made me say "wow", so I bought them.
I guess we are just gonna have to have a side-by-side comparison
I get to do the driving

C32 and CLK430
Greetings,
I have the H-R coil overs with Evo Sport sway bars, the car was dropped about an inch. The
car handles great. I have about 22oo miles on
the car since it left Evo Sport and am 100% satisfied.
Obviously, I am not able to compare the H-R's against anything but the stock system
which was 'ok', the new system is GREAT!
GOD BLESS AMERICA,
daniel
