H&R does not offer a cupkit for the CLK430, so, if you want to buy it from places like tirerack, look under the fitment for a CLK320 of the same year. You will find it there...
Tirerack has the kit for $597.00

mmgrad- will cupkit for clk320 fit perfectly or does it need modification?
ALso I do not see many cupkit supsension installed on this board!
If i go with cupkit and stock pads...will it still look like SUV on 18"?

How is the ride quality compared to H&R with Koni or Eibach with koni

CLK55
I had the cupkit on my clk55 with stock spring pads, ride was softer than stock amg suspension, I did have rubbing problems when turning full lock or going over dips but that was with 19"

I got rid of that setup because for that amount of lowering I was expecting something stiffer plus I got tired of having to reverse everytime i pull into my steep driveway

in hindsight this is made for a 320 that would account for extra lowering of the front and suspension stiffness rating

how do I know that it's only been used for 2k miles?
I want to buy it, but if it's barely used and I'll take it!

I'm selling my CLK, but I am parting out all the aftermarket stuff and selling her stock.
