saw those C/O a million times on ebay.. i dont think its worth it. i dont remember where i heard this but someone told me before that someone was using those on the track and they flew off.. also those dont look right for the mercedes.. id say stick to the H&R and koni yellows.

Guys should be let him back in the circle of trust?
-----------------------------
K-Sport shouldn't have any coils for Benzes. Are you sure the ones you saw was for benz?
EDIT
Looks like they don't. http://www.ksport.co.uk/products.asp?f=coilovers
Plus these coils (k-sport) aren't that great.
You are better off getting the KW Variant 2

Or you can get the TEIN SS (not basics) and call it a day. I honestly believe for the price you can not go wrong with TEIN SS.

I only heard bad stuff about the Basics. I have heard great stuff about the SS but have not experienced them.
-----------------------------
You have to understand just with Coils you are not going to make your car handle like a Porsche. You will definitely feel a difference but like I said it's not going to turn it into a track car just with coils.

BUMP to see how much I should be paying for a TEIN SS KIT, or KW K2 Kit:
I can get the TEIN SS kit for about 1400 Shipped
or the KW K2 Kit 1600 Shipped.
What do you guys think? Are those good prices? Thanks!

here is my suspension set-up:
Model: 2005 Mercedes C230
Springs: H&R Springs cut half a coil in the front (I think half, not sure exactly
)
Rear Pad: #4
Shocks: Koni Yellow Adjustables
Wheels: SL500/SL600 - 18x8.5 Fronts 18x9.5 Rear
Tires: Falken 452 - 225/40/18 Fronts 255/35/18 Rear
Front is like 1/3 inch gap and rear is about 3/4 inch gap.

It doesn't list that the c230 coupe can use the TEIN SS kit DSG00-KUAS2, it all says the c320 coupe. Does anyone here have the SS for the coupe installed? and works fine? Thanks.
