You know what, I just actually heard of Vogtland springs my self. A few people hear swear by them. I was going for Eibach as it was less rough on daily driver cars, but someone said Vogtland would be better as it is more comfortable.

+1, I've got Vogtland's on my C280 and E55 and they're a bit more comfortable than H&R's. Vogtland's are supposedly a very high quality spring. I'm not positive but think that Vogtland's tend to lower a bit more than what I'm comfortable with. I prefer to see a nice even fender gap between wheel and tire. With Vogtland's the top of the fender comes a bit closer to the tire.
There's also Bilstein sports to consider as a shock.
