Bruce,

Why don't u the the H&R cupkit on your CLK, i recently installed the H&R cupkit on my E430, it's even lower than my previous suspension (cut 1 coil H&Rs F/R and Bilstein sports) and the ride is definitely better, but now i have alignment problem in the front, (the rear alignment is fine due to the adjustable camber kit). Just a thought....

Not sure about the E-Class, but H&R doesn't make a cup-kit for the CLK 430/55, but using the 320 kit on a V8 will probably give the same effect as your ride. But I don't think it will lower the car that much cause Bruce has a 320, plus he's running on 19s

This is how low my car is right now, I don't think cutkit will give me that much lower.... but thanks for the advice though

Hey Bruce try those Springs which are used to lower the CLK230,
your car will be lower than now cause your Car is heavier than the 230!

no problem Bruce, cut the springs and see if you like it or not, but just be careful not to bend those beautiful Brabus!

I'm getting my car back on Friday, I got some mods to do before I can cut my springs(still thinking how much to cut), I'm getting rid of my Brabus, e-mail me if you're interested... lowryder@***.net. I might get 19x10 so maybe I won't be able to slamm it, let's see how it goes.. Ill keep you guys updated
