I just got koni shocks today. Havent driven the car yet, but when I do I will give feedback on smoothness. Check TireRack for prices.

Impressions of the koni shocks.
They dont soften the ride that much(I guess they left it more on sport), but the handling(NOW I know how nice that is)is MUCH more refined. I mean before I used to go w/the turns and curves but now it feels like the car doesnt move me around..at all. I like 'em.

Stiffer shocks can't soften the ride. Koni reds set at the softest setting should be closer to stock than most other aftermarket shocks. Some Bilsteins are close to stock also.

depends on what you like, but I think te cupkit on my C230 is much too soft.

Can I change just the front 2 shocks or do I have to change all 4?? The front is the only part im getting a little bumpy ride from.

Here is the thing. The shocks will ALMOST run you as much as a cupkit. So you drive around w/a car w/a cupkit and if you like that then just get the cupkit. BUT I actually like the ride on my konis much better than w/the cupkit AND it gave me the chance to trim my coil a bit to lower out the front. Driving around bad streets all weekend and it is no match for these shocks!

tirerack.com has good prices (no tax and shipping isn't too bad).
