AMG Suspension Kit vs. H&R Cup Kit or other combo of springs and dampers
Anyone out there with any thoughts contrasting these two alternatives for a w208 suspension upgrade? I'm looking for a suspension tuned for relative OE comfort, but yet with much more high-end capability. Oh yeah, the Kleeman system is out of my price range.

oh yeah, if you are looking for OE comfort.... throw the Cup Kit out the window... that is probably going to be too harsh of a ride.... in comparison of those two, get an AMG kit.

Luke, if I go with the cup kit, how much of a drop will I see? I recently installed (today) new 18" wheels and tires (225/40s in the front and 255/35s in the rear- bought them from Tirerack c/o Luke) and now I figure I have not much more than 2" of clearance between the fenders and the top of the tires. I don't want the car to look too low and I definitely don't want my tires rubbing. Will the cup kit work for me?
