I believe the Vogtland kit is using Bilstien shocks
The koni kit contains the vogtland springs & Koni internally adjustable shocks
I'm partial to the Koni/Vogtland combo, but I wouldn't buy that Koni kit(I didn't). I would get the Vogtland springs & Koni externally adjustable shocks(I did). It makes it easier to dial in the ride you like best.

Are you sure? So you're saying that it's one finger gap w/ #4 pads and after settling? Here's my dilemma. I dropped my C43 w/ h&r and bilstein and #4 pads rear. The tire is still tucking!!! In your pictures, it still looks like it's tucking. Can you post a close up pic of the rear fender gap? I want to be convinced so I can purchase a set of these Vogtland springs. Thanks for all your feedback.

Very nice!
That's one shiny car you have there... the wheels look good, fill the arches up nicely. The spokes are thinner than the standard AMG ones too, looks subtle but mean..
Cheers,
