No !! Coilover suspension come in many stages like 1,2,3..etc. The higher stages allow you to do more adjustment. For example on the KW coilover for Mercedes, stages 1 with only ride height adjustment. Stages 2 with ride height and damper adjustment. Stages 3 with ride height, damper and re-bound adjustment. As for camber adjustment, I have not seen any kit for Mercedes that have camber adjustment build into. Here's a pictures of my 2004 Honda civic Megan's Racing coilover kit that I installed last month with ride height, damper and camber adjustment.

I didn't regreted it when I switched from KW coilover stages 2 to Eibach springs and Bilstein "sport" shock. I hated the KW coiolover and removed it only after 2 weeks. It was too stiff for me even setting it to the softness position. And most of the KW coilover kit for the C-class and CLK (included mine) required spacers in the front due to rubbing problems between the wheels and springs.

Yup........return the kit to the shop and took a $600 lost for restock. They ordered the Eibach springs for me and installed it with my stock struts/shocks and I wasn't happy with the combo either because the re-bound on the stock strut was too soft to control the Eibach spring but the damper control on the stock strut was just fine. I then ordered the Bilstein "sport" struts/shocks and the ride now is just perfect !!!!

Sorry I'm new to all this, but would I need anything else in addition to these coilovers to achieve a nice drop and comfortable ride?
