You would want to use the Bilstein HD's if you weren't lowering your car, the the bilstein sports offer a shorter travel to accomodate the lowering springs. the camber kit is needed when you lower your vehicle as it will usually cause negative camber. I have the Vogtland lowering springs which say they offer a 1.4" drop but I am thinking this is based of off the Euro springs cause it is closer to a 2" drop. I used the largest spring pads to accomodate for the extra drop and have almost the exact ride height I was looking for (could be a tad higher)

Actually, they aren't coilovers, not for the 202 application. The older Mercedes use a separate shock and spring. The KW site may show a coilover, but you would be getting their adjustable shock and adjustable spring perches.

If you mean hard to track down as in hard to find, those are standard US dealer parts. They list for about $50 per corner. Or have you hit the dealer and found them to be on back order?

I'm so trained to avoid the stealership that never even bothered to check. If you hit google with those PN's it really comes up dry. I will make some calls tomorrow but $50 - sounds much too cheap?

Actually, some parts are very inexpensive at dealerships. Front Euro springs for a CLK55 list at $100, are available for $75. The rears are unavailable through the MB USA parts network. The parts you listed are available (at least they show as being available). The fronts list at $67 but are available for $50.25 each from MB of Annapolis. The rears list at $70, and are sold for $52.50 each - same dealer.
