the H&R cup kit is a match spring and shock and yes the coilovers are the ones that are adjustable. i prefer the coilovers but they dont make it for my car so i chose the cup kit because the drop is nice and the car still feels comfortable. coilovers are much much better but its $$$$$$ ... hehehe

what about performance differences? and what do you think about RennTech or H&R springs instead of cupkit and coilover, some say it will shorten the life of the stock AMG shock (w/ H&R spring or RennTech), but some other ppl say the RennTech spring is designed to use the stock shock on the car. what's ur opinion on it? mikey

18" rims or springs etc. oh yeah, do you guys carry Euro door lock pins? cheap ones prefered...

Frank,

People say a lot of things, but in reality, there is only 1 spring designed to be used with the AMG shock, and your car came with it. Any aftermarket springs, H&R, Eibach, Renntech, Vogtland, Intrax, etc will shorten the life of your shocks. And a matched shock to one of the above springs will always have better performance. Come down and drive Vadim's C32, I'll show you what I mean.

Hahaha! Sorry Jason! Yes i'm going and NOT leaving this one. I've been through this one and know how far it is so i'm defnitely not leaving this one. Sorry about bailing out on the Norcal caravan as i wasn't really expecting it to be that far that was my bad. So are you showing your car on this event? Saw your new shoes and it looks awsome! What's the specs on those shoes size, width? Guessing 19's right?
