2001 e430 spring cup kit

Hello, i have searched the forums and other sources for info about the H&R spring cup kit. And i only find them listed for the e320 model. My question is would they fit my E430 or not. And is there a reason why i cant located them (not made for e430 maybe?)?

If not, im looking for a spring/shock combo, about 2" drop in the front and respectively for the rear. I cant find anything that low without the coiloivers.

Thanks guys.

Try the E55 Euro springs & play with the spring pads to set your right height.

Or: try coilovers "K-sport, D2racing, or my best KWcoilovers"

H&R only sells them for the 320. I have a 320 set on my 430 and they fit fine. The spring rates are probably not optimal for the 430 so do so at your own risk.

P.S If I was to do it over now I would probably go with one of the "coilover" kits made for our car. They were not available when I bought the cupkit.

why don't you want coilovers?
it can work out to be cheaper if you have to get springs and shocks aswell.. and then you can have the option of adjusting ride height/comfort etc.
