Looks good. i used the Bilstien PSS9 myself, but those kleemann springs seem to be a good option for daily driving.

Good man, I am gonna to use PSS9 adjustable for my E90 and wonder what is the gain if I use them on my C55. Are they better than the stock AMG suspension? And, will the PSS9 be stiffer?

The gain is an adjustable suspension. If you ask ME I like the bilstien set up much more than stock. Yes overall I think you'll find the PSS9 stiffer than stock. They are adjustable so you could REALLY soften the car up, but you'll get a 'bouncy' ride. I keep them about midrange for daily use and I dont find it that much harder than stock. Obviously the car is now lower so you have that into consideration.
Here are some pics to see how low it is. (granted ride height is also adjustable and this is NOT as low as it goes...not even close in fact)

Thanks!
One more question, my friend has done the installation on my E90 and has not yet adjusted various settings.
1. Any insturctions I can view as what and how to adjust?
2. My friend's garage dont have the alignment machine, is it safe that if he will drive the car out to the alignment place or shall I ask him to tow the car to that place? Sound funny but I need to know.
