CLK with 19s and H&R CupKit

Ok, this question is kind of specific:

If you have the following, can you comment on ride quality, and if possible, post a pic:

CLK430 with the H&R CupKit (meant for the 320) and running 19s

This is what I want to do, but kind of hesitant... please give me your feedback... want to know how low the ride will be and whether it would be really harsh & bouncy

thanks all!

MMgrad, since it looks like you are a fellow Trojan, from your Sig, I will buy the cup kit and answer your question. Actually I just ordered it today, they are telling me next week...

If you are close by where I live or work, you can feel free to ride in my car and see how you like it.

But I only have the stock 17's on the car. But I will take your 19's if you got them... just for testing purposes...hee..heee...hee.....

that car looks sweet.... but with a heavier front from the 430's engine, will it be a lot lower?

How does the H&R CupKit compare to the Bilstein HD Shocks or the Kleemann Setup?

It is a shock/spring combination from H&R.

Looks cool, but how does it ride?
