KW Height adjustable spring kit for C43

I've been researching lowering options for our C43 coupe and see that KW now offer a height adjustable spring kit (coilover springs) for those who don't want to go down the complete V3 coilover route.

Very tempted as this would give some extra adjustment over the fixed drop H&R option.

Thanks for posting this - I assume that this would also fit the C300 4Matic, shouldn't be any difference?

You would have though so, but the C300 isn't listed for some reason in the compatibility list in the link I posted ?

I would be wary of assuming these springs will work on the C300. From what I know, the AMG models use a different suspension from the standard C300 suspension, so it may not be a direct fit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Also, the 4MATIC models require a different set of springs compared to the RWD versions. H&R makes a different set specially for 4MATIC use. Something to keep in mind when you guys are shopping around for springs.

I don't think non-AMG cars have electronic dampers. We have the regular, traditional spring-shock system suspension.

The "AGILITY SELECT" is standard on all C205 / W205s, as far as I know, which uses electronic dampers to change the ride characteristics (amongst other performance modifiers). Correct me if I'm wrong.
