Question MKB Products for C230K?

I was browsing the MKB website, however it had very little in the way of tuning for the coupe.

Does anyone know what products they make for the C230 and/or if there is a US distributor that they can be purchased from? I have heard good things about the company.

I emailed them from their web page and they responded quickly. I asked for mods on a 1999 SLK 230. The information is pretty good but a bit pricey, although I believe that the quality is excellent. Here is a paste of their response:
