hey wuts going on guys... i need some advice with some suspension work.this has been asked alot of time but i felt like i needed to explain a lil bit of my situation for that PERfect set up.
currently riding in a 98 c280. in my trunk are dual JL 10's which wieghs about a good 40 pounds. then there are alll the military gear that i have stashed in there daily that wieghs around a good aditional 50 lbs. the streets of north carolina are mostly highwayz and is constantly raining during the winters... thats wen ill be able to see my car the next time. im riding on some MAAS M54 w/ black finish on Kumho wheels(225/40/18)
usually i have a few passengers wieghin an avg of 150 pounds each.i want a sportier ride that can suport all that wieght. any sugestions with wutever set up will be greatly appreciated. for a while i was lookin into H & R cup kit but then was searchin all throughout the forum but i needed to tell my story.

sorry for the confusion guys...

i would go koni yellows on medium or hard setting, and vogtland springs (they have a special kit designed for trunks that are typicall weighed down from heavy audio systems and gear).

the ride would be very compliant, and still agressive drop. i wouldn't go too low (H&R cup kit will dump it) because with all that typical weight, you'll have rubbing issues, and ground clearance issues.

the koni and vogtland setup will drop you about 1.5" and make it ride like a vette. don't forget the #1 spring pads all around.

hmm koni yellows a voglant springs.... thats $$$ u know that military doesnt pay very well... but i expect the best for my w202 so... any recommended sites where i can purchase. now wen i get out of the service and there isnt much need for that much wieght support will the drive still be "vette" or somewhat comfortable?
