bilstein is in the process of redoing their website...but their application section is still under construction, should be much easier to use than the old website

Harris said he found some. I heard a few sets will be available in a couple/few weeks. If you are serious I would get my name on "the list". www.hartonmotorwerks.com
Yes PSS9 are adjustable dampers and ride height,
PSS are just ride height. H&R would be "similar" to PSS then.
Good web reviews with Audi S4, M3 and Porsche folks. Very limited MB data. Word is they are more for the sport-to-race ride than street, (the reviews I read were consistent for these listed cars).

I couldn't find nothing for C32 on the Bilstein website.
There's a PSS9 (GM5-8860-HO) that fits C209 CLK320/430/500 and W203 C230/240/320.
I guess this is the one people are using on their C32.
Carlsson RS (W203) is also an universal fit for all C-Class.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

PSS-9's are the same as the Carlsson RS Sport. Carlsson uses Bilstein shocks on their coilover setup, so in essence they are the same setup (only difference would be on who makes the springs).
I'm pretty sure the Bilstein's don't make their own springs, but not positive on that. Can't remember who they outsourced production from, but it was definitely a major vendor.

I've had the CARLSSON RS Sport Suspension with Bilstein PSS9 on my C320 Coupé for well over year & 1/2. Performance is awesome. Adjustability is awesome !
For hard street use and superb cornering, as well as autocrossing, I give it a 5-star rating and a big
CARLSSON RS (W203) will work with all C-Class including C32.
