Wtb: H&r Cup Kit For W203

Looking for an H&R Cup Kit for my W203. Anyone got this laying around? Thanks. Everyone is telling me it's going to take about three to four weeks to get this. Thanks for looking.

Ben

Tried, but they said it would take approx. 2 weeks because the set they did have they couldn't find.

Just curious why you want the cup kit? I had it on my sedan and it was too damn soft (floaty) over large dips, yet harsh on roads with minor imperfections. TEIN Basic c/o's were a HUGE improvement.

Tien C/O? I've seen some sedans though that look too low in the rear for me. Might work out though. I'll have to sift through the posts that show a c class on teins.

The beauty of c/o's is that you can adjust the height exactly how you want it. When I had the cup kit, the rear was great, but the front was too high. The only way to correct that was to cut 1/2 coil off the front springs, so my vote still goes for c/o's regardless what brand.

The H&R springs lower the car by 1.5-2 inches, if i remember correctly, you can still slide almost two fingers in.

Where are you located? I have a set in my garage just sitting around. I purchased it used from a member from the old mbklasse site few years back just never got around to installing it because I bought some coilovers. I believe the original owner had them for two oil changes then switched to coilovers as well. If you can set up something with UPS or any other delivery service where they pick up and package you can have them for free, due to work I do not have the time to package/send out.
