Koni Sport or Bilstein HD shocks?
I'd like to get new shocks (and springs), but I don't want to deal with the camber problems, so I'll probably stick with stock springs for my C230 K sedan, unless you guys know of springs that will keep camber within spec; maybe Vogland???
What are the pluses and minues of the Bilsteins HD and Koni Sport, besides the adjustability of the Konis?
I also don't want to coilovers because I don't have time to adjust them.
Thanks.

Bilstein has the advantage of a long history of preventing cavitation in shock absorbers. The 25A high pressure nitrogen is just the start. The rod has to not only be tough, but smooth to prevent seal wear and long life. Bilstein products are usually beefier, and I feel the right choice for street use.

is SOLD
you can just get springs and then get a camber kit to cure your camber issues. most people get koni sport struts and i believe they're cheaper and the same quality as bilstein.
