I'm searching around for a used kit for about half price if anyone has one hahaha
As far as the drop I'm only running #2 pads because I still need some clearance to get in and out of my driveway and around town. As it is I haven't scraped anything, so it is perfect for me! Sure I like the looks of the cup kit, but it isn't practical for me.

Ok about the rims these are 19x8 and 19x9 35 and 30 offset with 235/35 and 265/30 P-Zero tires. The rims are the nice cheap moda r6.

No coilover is made for the CLK......
They are H&R springs with Bilstein shocks and the ride/handling/height are perfect. Couldn't be happier!

Coil Overs are are adjustable springs & shocks that are adjustable. The shocks can be adjusted to almost whatever height you want.
Suspension Kits... thats kind of vague, but suspension kits can mean just sport lowering springs, or sport lowering springs & sport shocks. Adjustability varies based on which shocks you buy....

cup kit
i have the cupkit for the CLK which drops the 1.6' front 1.9' back.
With 18' or 19' car looks very aggressive. Handling is very good. A very sporty, and extremely good ride compared to OEM.
I will post pics this afternoon for you guys..

Thanks Danny, that was explained really well. What I meant when I said "suspension kit" was the one the Evosport has on the website, the Stage I and II kits.
