KW V1 w203 suspension
currently have this on my 2007 c230. i bought them used at 1000 miles. and i put about 20 miles on them. these came off of a c55 originally. they should all fit the same
these are KW V1s
they are really soft.
they are still on my car and will be removed prior to sale. my car has just been sitting since i installed them because my parents went out of town so i've been driving their car more =)
here is a quick picture of the drop on my car with a lot more room left to go lower on the front

These wouldn't happen to be the KW coilovers that were selling for $800 a few months back?
Might want to check the internet on your pricing.

i bought them a couple of months back and did not install them until last week. im selling them because they are too soft. good for comfort but too soft for my taste.

I'm surprised you describe the KW's as soft. I've always understood that V1's were a bit more stiff than other non-adjustable dampers (H&R, TEIN Basic), similar to the V2's at the stiffer settings.

Something is not adding up, and I'm not the only on to think this.
In the origional thread, the seller mentions that he will take $900. You want a $1,000 You say they are too soft, therefore you are going back to stock which is softer?
Doesn't make sense here.

it was a shipped price and i did put or best offer..
im just putting the stocks in for now because i need to sell these so i have money to buy new ones. i wasnt planning to keep the stocks in there..
coming from the honda-game with my old d2 suspension set up...these feel like im driving on air
and i put 1000 shipped obo simply because things always sell for cheaper than what theyre posted for. ask the people that PM'd me about it, i gave a pretty generous price in my opinion. the $1000 is for window shoppers. real interest can PM me and we can work something out.
and maybe there are other people that think something is going on here.. but none of them are hounding me about it.. and now i have to explain myself for selling something. so if youre interested PM me and we'll talk. if not, have a great day

Pricing sounds in line for KW's that are 1,000 miles old.
Brand new KW V1's for the 6 cylinder runs at least $1200 (w/ a good hook up excluding tax/shipping) so Randy's price is reasonable. I'm pretty sure I know how much Baris got them for since he got them from a local shop here in SD.
