Coilover Kit?
Is there any reputable manufacturer that is developing or going to develop a coilover kit for the CLK?
Is there a particular reason it has not been done already?
Any insight would be appreciated.

So far there aren't any. We have been trying to convince H&R to make a kit for a while, but I have yet to hear whether they will. We will be making a custom coilover kit for Sleestack in a couple months.

Everything we are making for Sleestack's car will be available to the public, however pricing will not be available for the majority of custom parts until the car is finished.
Thanks,
Ben

The Kleemann shocks are awesome in that they are quite comfortable in normal driving condiditions and really stiffen up during cornering. They are a great solution for someone who wants the best of both worlds. The coilovers being made for my car are not being built for comfort and will be strictly performance oriented (and probably too stiff for most MB owners).

I took a cloverleaf on ramp from one freeway to the other. I took it pretty fast but gently the entrance was a long straight way. I then dove into the curve just to see what the car would do. It stayed flat all the way thru the corner. I was very impressed with how the car stayed in control and there was very little body roll.

Thanks theine, I have the same parts as you have too, H&R springs, Koni shocks + Eibach sway bars.
I am hoping that the body roll would be minimal.
How is yours?

I will tell you how it feels.
As far as the fog light bulbs, I haven't bought them maybe in a couple of weeks.
