WTB: H&R, KW V1, or KW V2 Coilover - Dealers help please
I am in the market for a new set of coilover for my 03' C32. My alternatives are H&R, KW V1 and KW V2. Can any dealer send me a PM on price please?

06' Clk 500 Cabriolet, 01' CL 55, 00' Clk 430
I used to have the KW2 on mine 2006 CLK 500 Cabriolet and HATE IT !!! I removed it only after 1 months and took a $600 lost on the kit. It got rebound but no damper feature. Even with the softness setting, it still was too stiffed and very very rough riding. The front strut required spacer for my stock AMG wheel to clear the springs even the ride height only half way drop. Spend an extra $200-$300 for the Bilstein PSS9. It got all the feature and people has yet to report negative feedback. I tested drive my friend's C55 (AMGSC) and it ride is very smooth.

Thanks for the info Erick, and thanks for the headsup Clk&Slk.
I will look into the KW suspension more for sure because I am leaning on the V2. Do you guys recommend H&R Coilover? the thing is they are so much cheaper...
