Yep lhoang i have already bought them! (my car on the pics)

Nice job. I like them.... My SLK also has 18" wheels, the car..
is lowered using H&R Sport Springs and Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks. BTW...Ignore the ridiculous RICE comment. 18" wheels on a lowered SLK gives the best visual effect out of any combo.

The HR cup kit is excellent..I just got them for my bmw and it is just low enough but no rubbing. It is a bit stiffer than the stock sports pkg bmw which feels just rite and not too bumpy.
I am gonna get it for the slk soon and i expect an even more dramatic improvement since the stock slk suspension is way too soft. I am riding on a set of carlsson 18" also
