why is tirerack selling the Stock Bilstein HD shocks as much as the sport shock. and the Bilstein HD does say street performance, and our stock clk is Bilstein HD so why would we need to replace the shock. i am not gonna do any auto cross or anything like that, just normal everyday driving.

i see that they do show up when i search under the clk320. the sport cup kit are way lower then the regular. they are 1.9'' F, 1.6''R compare to 1.4, 1.3 for the regular. and they do come with shocks also. and they are price at $450 more then the regular. BIG MIKE i know that you got the kit but why didnt you use the shock that come with it, why did you switch out to the Bilstein sport shock? i think i have a pretty sure on what i want to do with my available pocket, let me know if it will work. Regular H&R spring with #1 pad from E320 for front, and #2 stock pad that came with our clk for the rear, Stock BilStein shock that came with the car, and a rear camber kit from Ghost rider. Will this work for me? thanks
i got springs and koni adjust shocks and i never ran the stock since car got lil bouncy since i lowered the car too much .
IF u get the cup, and u want to lower it like mine, no way in hell u can drive that car with 19, it will rub even if u rolled the fender.
u can get the cup and 1.9 is very low bro.
im postive mine is lower than 2 and kmac kit got me able to drive my car since it brought the tire close to the fender....
kmac kit works diff than any other cambers.
For rear it should not matter but front it does since u need to turn.
correct me if im wrong about this....!!!!!!!!!

My drop is about the same as BigMike except I have the H&R Sports Cup Kit on 20 inch rims with a #3 spring pad which is the lowest I can use without rubbing. So seeing that BigMike is using no/Zero pads with his drop technically means I can go even lower than him by going with a #2, #1, or no pads at all.
This is just information to help people to decide which direction to choose. Good Luck

im sitting with no pad and that ll lower it and with time spring ll settle it.
i have 320 and not 430 i would not know and i thought cup kit was for 320 but ghost says it ll fit 430... i never used ghost camber but i know couple peeps from here did and i dunno how they work comparing to k mac. ask him..i know if i had cup kit and my 19! i can't go with zero pad or number 1. it ll rub. i might be ok with number 2
