I just bought today Sachs (made in germany) sport shocks w/ H&R springs , waitting for them to be delivered in 2 days. Anyone have experience with these shocks? Or Bilstein Shocks w/ H&R springs? If yes, how`s your ride with this setup?

and what do you think about Sachs ?!

Yeah, most everybody here...
cause that's OE on most W208, at least V8's. Quality stuff, and I bet that kit with the H&R's will be nice...

I just called the tuning shop in Germany and asked them to deliver me a full H&R cup kit, 40mm Bilstein Shocks w/ H&R springs. I give up on buying the Sachs option i think the full H&R kit it`s much better.

I paid 400 Euro = approx $510 + 35 euro shipping but i live in Europe so the costs to send them in US might be more.

Well the one i bought will lower my car about 40 mm ( 1.5" ) but they have setups with 60 mm lowering or more for the same price i think
