C55 coilover setup

Hey guys! My name is Richard, and I hope to join the fellow C55 AMG owners this weekend. Hopefully everything works out and I drive home from Vegas with it.

First few things I plan on getting are cf front lip, cf rear diffuser, full exhaust system, wheels and of course coilover system.

I was curious what you guys were working with. I plan on getting a system that provides comfort and gives a little style. Won't be going slammed or attend any track events, just a nice system good for daily driving.

Any recommendations? And if you guys have any pictures to share?

Hi,
I use Bilstein B14 PSS coilovers on my C55. Comfort very similar to stock C55 suspension. Very happy with it

Im on H&R Coilovers, little bit firmer than stock, but still fine. Ride height is perfect, quite low.

I have kw v1 coilovers in my clk (same part as for c55). They are probably a bit too stiff for my liking unless your streets are high quality. If I did it again I would hunt down some lowering springs and shocks.

Where did you find H&R Coilovers for the C55? I talked with a lady at H&R yesterday and she said the only option she had for my 06 C55 was their sport springs!
