Need reviews on Bilstein suspension kit

Im looking for reviews on a complete suspension kit that includes front struts with springs and back shocks with springs. The car is a CLK 55 w209, I want to get input on ride comfort and how would this set up "fit" a daily driver.

Up front I don't have the answer but I am about to pull the trigger on a bilstein package for my w208 so I'm curious where you sourced the complete package for your 209. If nothing else it would help to make sure I have everything accounted for for my car, e.g. does your package come with spring pads or are you picking those up separately? Thanks.

B8's

I have no idea if you are looking at coilovers but I can say I just scored a brand new pair of front B 8's for $370.
Not sure if I am going to lower or not but the way I smash up my front CF spoiler it might be cheaper

I've got a friend who sells parts that recently he's gotten few new kits from his supplier. It comes with everything you see on the picture

Dmtypr, is that kit for a 208 or a 209?

The B8 is intended to work with lowering springs. I have them on my car with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and they're great.

Correct for that reason I am going with B6 set up on my 208. They will work fine with both stock ride height or a mild lowering with the euro spec springs and pads, whenever I can get my hands on a set.

Do you use you car as a daily? How would you describe ride comfort..
