12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)
To finish the thread, some photos of the C43 with the KW V2 suspension and 18" Monos.
Some update info since installing the new suspension last summer and a couple of 'K' kms later. I have not adjusted the height since installation as I feel it is sufficient without undue rubbing. It does rub a wee bit up front with the wheel turned and hard turning left or right. It also rubs lightly on the back with two persons in the rear on some bumps.

I have a Euro 43 as I live across the "pond". Last summer I decided to ditch the suspension and replaced it with a full KW Variant 2 suspension kit. I love it. You can check it out in my "Preparing for the spring wake up" thread below...
