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 hate to say this to you Mr. Patel....your P7000 and cup kit are the only two things that I asked you not to buy at the beginning, but you didnt listen.

I think there's something wrong with your cup kit since day 1. I guess you should either put the stock shocks back on and get yourself a set of Renntech springs or simply get a set of CO (whatever brand). I am a bit surprised that you can stand that "too low" look and the noise for so many months.

All Pirelli tires have squared sidewalls. He has P7000 on his 32.
