H&R Cup kit NOT for CLK430's?
I purchased an H&R Cup Kit from Evosport and I talked to my dealer to get it installed. They have never done it before, so they called H&R to get some specs. H&R firmly told them that the cup kit is for CLK320's only and IS NOT recommended for a 430.
What's the deal? I bought the cup kit because many of you say you have it on your 430's and because Evosport recommends it for a 430.
I would think H&R would know their own products pretty well, so what's the deal with a cup kit on a 430?

the H&R Cup Kit is designed/engineered for the CLK320's weight, but it also works for the CLK430.
H&R will of course not endorese using it for a car that its not meant for since it may yield less then optimal results.
However, many tuners shops and 430 owners will tell you, the H&R Cup Kit works just as perfectly for the 430 as for the 320.
Don't worry about what the H&R rep says, they are just trying to cover their a$$ by saying its not meant for the 430.

They say that because the engine in the 430 weighs more, thus giving a lower drop in the front than what is stated for the CLK320, it does fit, i have it on my 430 and its perfect, they are just preaching rubbish.
