Don't get me wrong, the CLK 320 and 500 drive better IMO than the outgoing W208 (I have test drove the W208 and W209), but they sit wayyyyyy toooooo high!!!!!

Really disappointed about the Market survey of W209
Given so much height to a sporty coupe.
Back from the "re-optimization" of my tuned chassis
Finally it's lower than C32 ,and I feel it's a little sporty now.

(1) W209 is definitely aimed at senior people,and they never
(rare) to showup here.

(2) W211 is then for junior people,
Hey ! LiKuidM5 , you're buying the wrong car

Hi, sungulent thanks !

No, just regular shocks on W209.
"KW",a German brand, I never heard of it before.
Parts are always OEM, no idea who build it anyway.
H&R, Sachs, ... maybe, someone told me it's OEM by Koni.
they're packaged, yellow spring & pink Hi-Lo adjustable shocks.
