They will be a stiffer and provide a lower ride then the Bilsteins or Koni set up with H&Rs or Eibach springs.

You should be able to find a few write-ups on this forum.

The car sits perfect (ride height w/18s) with them IMO.

the h&r cup kits drops a clk430 about 2.1"f/1.8"r... it is a pretty extreme drop, so make sure that is what you want... you can prob raise it up "a little" with thicker pads...

overall, most people recommend the cup kit and they all say the ride is pretty smooth... depending on how things go in the next few weeks, i might be in the market for this kit...

I thought it would look lower then it actually did....I really did like the look...it is a perfect drop IMO with the stock pads.

Yes it will work on the 320...the kit was actually made for the 320...some of us 430s and 55s just put them on our cars.

And right again....for my wife it was a bit rough. Although I put all the fun stuff on my ride and drive her on the weekends, it is really my wife's mid-life crisis car. She did not like the "new ride"....but I can say, the car really "sits" in corners with the kit.

Hey, thats good new it is designed for the 320. Do you happen to know if there is a differnet part number for the cabrio 320 or not, i know there is for the HR springs. I am interested in purchasing springs for my car, but if this is a matched spring and shock combo, i might as well spring for it as longas i can verify the fitment.

Thank you!

I do not know...you could call tire rack and confirm for yourself. I would be happy to make the call, but you maybe better satisfied if you do it.
