hey guys, new here, anyone have the h&r cupkit

hey guys, im new around here, i just bought a 99 clk430 a few weeks ago and i just found this forum. i did some searching but i cant find any pictures of the 430 dropped on the clk320 H&R cupkit, i was wondering if anyone has a picture of the drop on the stock 17'' AMG rims. im lookin for a drop wtih maybe 1 finger to no finger drop and iw as wondering what # pads i should run with the H&R cupkit since the front is going to be sittin a little lower already. also do i need any cambers or anything? thanks alot guys.

i wouldn't go too thin with the pads unless you want really slammed look. I had a #2 in the front and a #4 on the rear, and i could barely get a finger in there all around. If looking at the car from the side, the cars fenders were lower than the top of the tires. stay with your factory pads and then adjust later....

thanks for the input guys, because i heard the back is gonna be a little high, so i mainly wnated to change the pads in the back to make it even since the front is going to be sitting low or something like that.

haters crazy
Ummm, I dont have any pics with the stock rims on but I do have the H&R cup kit and its sittin on 19's. I have #4 pads in front and #3 in rear. The front is still lower than the rear. The front has less than one finger space and the rear can easily fit one finger. Heres 2 poor pics. Hope that helps.
