what are some good brands of coilovers? and what is your experience

bheng

pss9s are the best.
kwv2 comes next
i dont think they make the v3 for our cars.
if your going to spend the money on coils, get those two

how much do they typically run? how do you adjust the height?

I bought my PSS9s for $1800. Not exactly sure on adjusting them, I just take it to my mechanic when I want to adjust them.

wow...$1800!! i might just stick to eibach pro-kit if i do the switch....mods are addicting!!! its one hell-of-a-drug!

I ordered my 2006 CLK with the sport suspension; I think it was only an extra $250 for the option. The car rides 1/2" lower than stock --just low enough to snag the bottom of the air dam on most parking bumper stops.
I found that on test-driving stock 2006 CLK's that they felt a little less 'buttoned-down' than the car with the sport suspension. I do not know what is different but I would assume that the springs are not the same; the ride was not stiffer so I assume that the shocks were the same.

The sport suspension does not compare with the CLK 55 I tried: that suspension is much better controlled but leads to a noticeably stiffer ride.

New lowering springs will also be very different from the sport suspension.

dynomite05

Yup, but IMO they are well worth it.
