It has about a 2" drop on it with Eibach springs and #1 pads. I may go with the H&R cup kit to bring it down another 1/2 inch or so.
OK it's poll time soon.

There is a cushion placed between the springs and their mounting tower where a spring pad is placed in order to absorb some of the impact from the road. Each pad has a size number, that increases in 5mm steps. Stock 430s come with a #4 pad in front, and a #3 pad in the rear. Some people change the pads when they lower their car in order to get the lowest possible and eliminate more of the fender gap. Changing just the pads without the springs will lower your car slightly, but is not worth the install costs.

CLK320s come with 5/4 setups...talk about thick.
The "spring pad" is actually known as a "spring isolator".
