? for C63 Black Series Owners. RE: Suspension/ Coilovers?

Does anyone know if the C63 BS comes with coilovers from the factory like other BS cars? Reason I ask is that a car I'm looking at has no adjustment tool with it and apparently never came with any! Thanks for any info anyone knows

Yes. Coil-overs. Adjustment tools in glove box.

Much appreciated!

Are they the standard coillvoer tools? Ie. A height adjustment wrench, and an allen pin type tool to adjust rebound and compression?

From what I know, the BS comes equipped with KW coilovers from the factory. Not sure if they are V2's or V3's though, I just know KW is the supplier.

Does anyone know how one would go about sourcing the CBS suspension? Would it fit a pre facelift C63 sedan?

Just but the KW coilovers and you have the same setup. (as far as i am aware)

I bought the KW DDC suspension for my 2010 and that means i get a button that allows me to change the damping between 3 modes, comfort (slightly softer than stock) street (little stiffer than stock) Track (rock hard). If you get the WLAN module you can set the damping from 0-100% via a APP on your smart phone........nice little feature that gives you hours of fun.

Obviously the track is wider on the BS and has a different roll bar (thought i better add that before i was flamed)

CLK63 BS has coilovers on all 4 corners ... C63 BS has coilovers only on the front axle. The rear axle has standard springs.

GREAT. Now my next one will be a BS. Didn't realize they came with KW's as well. Thats kinda the last nail in the coffin for me deciding whats next. I just have to keep telling myself to wait till my wife is out of school... As I rock back and forth crying....
