That sounds like a very good price. Lowest I've seen is $2,100 - $2,200

You're getting ripped off. Just do some research and contact vendors on this board to get a better price.

Just be sure when ordering KW V3s you know which ones you are getting quoted for. They have 2 KW V3s that can work on the C63, one specified for C class V8 (C300/C350), and C63 specific V3s. When I bought mine, there was about a $400 difference between the two. I ended up getting the C63 specific version simply because my sales guy said IF a warranty issue were to ever come up and if I had chosen to go the C class V8 route, it might give KW enough reason not to warranty the coilovers. Considering these come with a life time warranty I decided to play it safe and ponied up the extra money for the C63 specific version.

I bought the C63 KW V3s for $2500, but install was another $700 including alignment. Yes I know the install price seems crazy, but out of 4 shops I checked this was the cheapest! If you can get that special that includes free install I would JUMP on that.

You can adjust it if you want it stiff or want it soft

Free install is a great deal, especially with a good price on the V3s to start with.

That is full list for the C63 specific model. As mentioned in another post, there are 2 versions. The regular C class model can be had for around $2200 and the C63 specific model for about $300-$400 more. Supposedly the only difference is in the front springs which are rated at 10lbs more.
