SO AM KINDA BACK TO THE FACTORY LOOK BUT HAVE THE OPTION OF LOWERING AND ADJUSTING THE DAMPERS..
Just to clarify, for those that don't know the difference, WaveyKat had TEIN Basic's not Super Streets. The difference between the two is significant due to the adjustable dampers. So, in essence, it's not an "ideal" comparison.

am not saying that Tein is a bad Setup it Great according to were you live. if you live where the street are really bad and bumpy you should get the Tein Super Street.
but atleast i experience with both setups and having the Dampers to adjust is Great.

Wavey, you had the Super Streets also? I thought you had the Basics? I'm confused now.

That's what I thought. My main thing was to point out, for those that didn't know the difference, that you were comparing the TEIN Basic's to the KW-V2's. Two completely different style of coilovers, since the KW's are fully adjustable and the Basic's are not.

The bolts tighten up with the wheel and the spacer is off the car...

midnight, the price you mentioned (~$1300) is possible. That's about what I got mine for.

The bolts might be to long. I once installed the spare and tried to use the regullar bolts and they were spinning like that. Try to cut a little from those bolts.

I don't think you should expect to get more than the kelly blue book private seller price. Not many people want to buy a hooked up Benz (regardless of what kind of parts are on it).
