CLK W209 Coilover Help
I'm looking to pick up a set of coilovers and i'm not sure what the better option for me would be and was wondering if anyone can help.
I don't track my car, but i want to lower my car (and don't like the stance of the H&R springs) and my options are
A) H&R Street Performance Coilovers (great price, but i just found out there is no dampening on them). Once again, i don't wanna track the car, and if anything i would have it on the softest setting, but i'm afraid that it will be too harsh of a ride.
B) KW V1 They are basically the same as the H&R's but maybe softer?
C) H&R KW V2's These DO have the dampening i want but i'm not sure if it's too hardcore for me? And the only downfall is the price.
Thanks in advance.

Do not buy H&R or KW coilover without the damper feature. To get the damper feature on the KW, you have to buy the stages 3 which is more or the same prices as the PSS9. I rather have the PSS9 because it got all the features. I love the ride on my friend C55 with PSS9. They got some great deal right now for about $500 less. I has the KW stages 2 coilover with no damper feature and it was so stiff for me even at the softness setting. I end up remove the **** only after about 2 weeks and loss $400 on the kit. PSS9 is the only way to go.

Also, where do you guys see these deals for PSS9's? If i can get a PSS9 for $1300, i'll do it right now!
M4Mike, did you need spacers for the PSS9's? And where did you get it?
