Can someone help me get up to speed on aftermarket suspension options?

In my opinion the car rides very stiff out of the box. My c63 black series rides way more smoothly and comfortably while at the same time super agile. I chalk this up to the kw v3 coilovers it comes with.

So im interested in keeping The handling but adding a lot more comfort to the w205 via a high quality set of coilovers.

Does ra anyone know what the best options (if any) are out there for getting a more comfortable ride? Ideally something that has adjustability so we can switch between comfort and sport. My dream would be kw ddc, but it sounds like they aren't making it for us at all.

Thanks!

I run KW Has and have had no issues and have the height adjustability . It does seem to ride a bit smoother ...

I just went with the H&R Springs and love it. Great fitment and ride feels even better. Plus the cost for the overall look Is hard to beat. They also lower more than what they post of the .8 drop.

The V3 is night and day difference on this car. I have had some people be happy with the HAS and other say it is too stiff. All depends on your tolerance. KW is having a $350 rebate on V3s right now as well. Let me know if you would be interested in pricing.
