I've tried emailing KW and Koni-no one has responded (still amazes me that these companies make so much they dont need my $ too )-but for the life of me-I cant find a set of coilovers that will "work" on an 06 C55-
I've seen a DIY on the install for KW's-so I know they are out there-help!

I have them on my c55 and they work great. You do have to fun spacers in the front however. They don't make a specific set for the c55 you have to run the 6cyl versions. Def. worth it. I'm running v2's.

I want these even though they cost a fortune. Now if I can only think of someone to send them to me.

Spr-thanks for the info-so I can get the V6 version (of V2's or V3's) and run spacer's up front (hence the reason why they claim it wont work on V8 AMG's, but it will on all V6's)-now-is there a vendor on here who wants to price them out for me? V2's front and rear-and V3's (I know-somewhere north of $2k-coming from JRZ off an Evo X-these are cheap!)
Thanks!

spacer up front is for the clearance between the strut and wheel/tire. nothing to do with they say it won't work for V8.

C55's V8 weight close to C32's V6 s/c. anything that works for C32 will work for 55.

Frank's right. It's just a clearance issue with the collar of the coil over to the tire. I'm told that with stock rims and tires you don't need them but don't quote me. I'm running 18 x 8.5 et 31 with 235 z stars which are evidently wider than a 245 so the 5mm was necessary. All my suspension is also different though so yeah. I doubt there is another c55 in the world with a clk63 black series rack and clk63 front end hehe.

spr

oh yeah and they don't make v3's for a 203.

Thanks guys-no V3's? Bogus-clubsports?
I'll check around and see if anyone wants to sell me some (still no response from the companies I emailed)-I def think after my first weekend at a short autox and a hill climb-I could use a lower CG and a tighter rebound-
thanks!
