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.

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.
