I did a lot of searching and it doesn't seem like Bilstein offers coilover kits for the W164, just shock upgrades.

Shocks for H&R
I have had H&R springs on mine with the stock shocks for almost a year now with no problems so far. I decided to lower because I wanted a firmer,stable ride over here in Germany due to the higher speed and aggresive driving enviroment. I may sooner or later replace the shocks but I am not sure yet. The H&R springs can be used with your stock shocks. (without Airmatic mind you).

I had put in some lowering links, lorinser branded I believed. This tricks the air suspension computer and allows your car to be lowered up to 40mm.
benefits are these are manually adjustable and your air suspension is not impacted. So on Sport mode, it will be as low as you want (within reason) and then in comfort mode, it will bring it back to a rough (sport mode height). These are quickly installed and easily replaceable. approx. $700AUD.
The car does feel better lowered and yes you will experience a lot more of a bumpier ride esp me, running 22" rims. But when you get sick of it, just put it back up via comfort mode and ride quality is then bearable.
