Can the guys/gals post pics of their 320s or 430s that are using H & R CupKit. I have a 320 with the same spring,pad, and shock setup as my buddy with a 430 and his car sits lower than mine.

the 430 should sit lower, it's alot heavier...

Ok....Is there a way to make my car lower besides using a cupkit? My setup is #2 pads in front #1 in rear H&R springs with bilstein sport shocks.

430 sits lower in the front because the H&R cup kit is designed for the 320 and the engine in the 430 is heavier. I have pad#4 up front and #3 in the rear. The rear still sits a little higher but i like it like that.
Heres a pic from the day I got it lowered:

It sits even lower now

I love that low look. Have you had any problems with scraping on driveways, parking lots, etc?

so you want the back lower? If you have 1 spring pad allready, your only option would be to cut a coil, sometimes it can affect the ride and sometimes it doesn't. I've previously done it on my brothers s500 and the ride did not change.

I don't have the cupkit installed. I'm just wondering if the cupkit will lower my 320 more than my current setup.

Yes the cupkit will probably lower your car about 1/2-1 inch lower than what it is now, i had the H&R's and Koni's then i got the cupkit and it lowered it about 1/2-1 inch more. If your looking for a cupkit, i'm selling mine.

I actually had more scraping/rubbing issues before I dropped the car. You have to think about how much stiffer the suspension is after you drop it. Your car doesnt dip as much. I have 19's on mine so it raises the car up off the ground a little. I put the stock rims and bumper back on today and it looks like its VERY low. 19's make my car so much slower. I only like them for looks.

Here is my clk on the H&R Cup Kit. I'm running the stock pads, #4 in the front and #3 in the rear.

smalldog

can you take a pic of the front/rear and other side?

Thanks

i'll try to, but they are same, nobody is in the car, when i sit in it, the left side usually goes lower.
