Fast Cars!
I had the KW V2 coilovers on my C55, i loved them. The regular H&R W203 C-Class Coilovers will work on the C55, but they suck anyway. Go with KW V2 Or Bilstein.

I miss my C55!

One more thing....I hear you're getting HRE wheels so make sure you tell HRE to spec them for coilovers for additional clearance. You may run into issues with not being able to drop the car as low as you want if you don't mention that.

HRE is also aware im running this coilover setup so they can hopefully cure any clearance issues with the coilovers

Get the Bilstein PSS9 coilover. Its the best setup out there and also the most versatile. There are around 10 different settings to choose from depending on your driving style.

I talked to Troy yesterday and he said he received a purchase order for the KW V2's so something is happening.

The KW's doesn't have a set number of settings. It's actually infinitely adjustable until you hit full firm or full soft. Neal had his set all the way firm and loved them but could be too firm for others. I have mine 2.5 turns firm and that seems to be the balanced setting that works for comfort and handling.
