CLk320 suspension upgrade
Hi I'm curious to know if anyone has the bilstein sport shock upgrades along with drop springs? Did it improve handling and hows the ride?

I personally recommend H&R Sports Cup Kit. Had it on my CLK 320 for 3 years. But remember good tires are also important.
You can read my post called "Final Destination" to see how the suspension saved my life. Doubt I could have maneuvered out of that situation with a normal suspension and tires.

With the drop that I have and the low profile tires, everyone is impressed how smooth the ride is. Everyone expects a very hard ride.
Next on the list is a Custom Rear and Front Strut which is also important for handling. My Rear strut should be here in a week or so from the guy here on the forum, can't wait to test the ride then.

I was planning on lowering my car on just springs, but based on my experience owning a honda the stock shocks actually blow out after a while and I'm not willing to deal with that especially on a benz. I just want to upgrade the shocks for better reliability while the car breaks necks on my matt black brabus wheels. 
thanks for all the information and yes i will look more into the h&r cups!
