I had so many issues with C300 and H&R.

below are C63s Sedan options. I'm thinking about "HAS KW"

Thanks for the link mate. What was your issue with h&r on c300. C63 is already stiff with oem springs. If i get after market spring with more than 1 inch i think it going to be harsh. Kw has is a bit too much for me since am not going to fine tune lowering springs.

C300 H&R had a lot of squeaking noises and they were just too stiff so ride just too jumpy. I heard from few guys who has HAS KW and they love it.i was told it rides better then stock

I never had issues with my c400 using h&r. I wish kw comes with standard lowering 1k i think is a bit too much $$ for adjustable from 0-80 & 0-1.2 front and rear.. h&r for only more than half the price cheaper is already .80 inch. Pet me ask the guy ising h@r on c63

They have a new set for w205. Its VTF Adjustable Springs with AMG ride control. Anyone tried these out yet? Looking to purchase it and keep the car with the AMG ability to select suspension setting. Looking up the part number online are several websites selling it cheaper.
