KW V2 or Bilstein PSS9 Questions
Hi,
For those of you running either KW V2 or Bilstein PSS9 with the stock C55 wheels did you need to run spacers to clear the struts? Getting ready to do either setup but do not want to find out I'll need spacers after the coils are installed.
Thanks!

Not sure about the C55 wheels but I am installing KW V1 right now on my stock CLK which is pretty much the same chassis. Also stock 18" wheels which I am guessing are also the same. I doubt the V2 will be different. It depends on how low you want to go. Stock ride height shouldn't be a problem. Maybe a few mm lower but if you want to really lower it then yes the coil perches will touch the 225 front tires. 5mm spacer would most likely work but won't be hubcentric which leaves you needing a 10mm spacer.
Also whatever you get, measure the swaybar link holes for the front before you install them. A lot of them (not just KW) are only 10mm but the links on some models (I am guessing AMG) are 12mm. I had the engineer drill them out after I installed them completely.
