Best overall I say bilstein coilovers for our cars but I love my BC coilovers as well. Also do you want to adjust dampening?

You can do that on practically any non-budget set of coilovers.

It really depends on your budget and what you want. The PSS9s are ungodly expensive, and most likely overkill for normal coilover users. Especially on a Benz. The PSS9s are almost two large, when good sets with reasonable adjustability are around 1100-1400 (H&R, Fortune, BC). I know you say that money's no object, but there's no reason to buy more than you need.

1999 E320 4matic Wagon, 2005 C55 AMG - sold, 1998 VW Jetta TDI - sold, 2006 C230 Sport - Totaled :(
FYI, Bilstein PSS9 is $1495 on Tire Rack, which I found to be a great price. I just bought them and can't wait to put them on.

Got BC Racing Type BR for my 2006 C230 and I love them. With coilovers, you honestly get what you pay for. But with Benz, never go cheap.

Don't mean to hijack, but how much you want for them? And how many miles?
