Koni's s stock AMG struts?
Has anyone tried the adjustable Koni's? Do they ride better and perform better. I am looking for a softer ride on the street and more better handling at the track.

nope so I ordered a set anyway. All the articles I read point to Koni's being better shocks.

No updates, I order the sport set from Koni and they said it was discontinued so I am still trying to get a hold of them.

Just talked to Koni, ordered them through Tire Rack, it was cheaper than Koni's website. I talked their rep and he said the adjustable shock is the same for all W203, the srping rates change but their shocks be able to handle it.

Don't waste your money, I was surprised when I took out the stock shocks at how stiff they were. You may not notice any difference. What I did notice was my stock rubber strut bushings at the towers were wasted.

I just had the Koni Sports put on my car (with Eibach Pro springs) 2-3 weeks ago. Very happy with them so far, but am still trying to dial them in on the street. Don't track the Benz, so no review of them anywhere else.
Ordered my set through TR as well; 20% off in May. It's a good price, puts them about on par for non-adjustables.
