Just to leave my two cents here.

Installed KW DDC on my 2013 E500 coupe (E550 in US) and had it also corner weighted and ended up with a complete new car, I'm in love!

For my car the KW DDC kit is plug & play and can change only to confort and sport as with stock suspension.
The front springs are at the max height indicated by KW but after going to the scales for corner weight the rear ended up a bit low for what I would like, but all in detriment for a perfect 50:50 balance.

The ride in comfort is like stock, or even better, and in sport I notice the rebound difference, but not much as I was expecting, very very capable ride in sport mode but without a harsh ride. I was surprised in a good way!

If any one, like I was, undecided between V3 and DDC it's simple... for track V3 for road DDC all the way.

Looks great! How adjustable is the height? Can you provide the part number? Hopefully this is available in the US now as it was not last time I checked many months ago.

Thanks

The height is adjustable as you need but if you want to have the shocks/springs working as they were set to be, you need to get the height like mine (with 18" wheels would have less stance) because there is a minimum and maximum heigh from the bottom of the spring to the first screw on control arm, as described on the instructions manual, that I never tried to understand before.

The things I've learned when watching experts doing the work!
Now I have to check the same thing on my CLK with KW v2.

PS: later tonight or till Sunday I will check the KW part number on the box, I've checked it directly with KW factory after I made a visit last summer.
Nice people and great products

HI!

so is this kit a full coilover? or part of it?

Here is a pic of the KW kit and the part number for any interested.
Since my car have from stock the confort/sport button inside, the kit is plug&play and no additional ECUs and wiring needed.
