Myself, SteveL, rage2 and Kenny all have the Koni yellows on our SLK's. I'd venture to say that we're all quite happy with them. I got my shocks through Pure-Motorsport fpr $565 as well. That's the best price I found and I had to search quite a few places, just find a place that had them in stock. Pure Motorsport was a pleasure to deal with. So yeah, its a good price.

Koni shocks are adjustable right?

I have H&R springs and Bilstein shocks in my SLK works just fine

Yeah they are. The Koni Yellow Sport Application for the SLK is incredibly easy to adjust once they are installed. They are adjusted via a adjustment knob at the shock towers in the front and two access panels in the back. I'll post pictures of the adjustment points if needed.

The H&R Cup Kit is acctually H&R Springs and Bilstein shocks
I don't think its to hard that could be because I'm used to hard cars?

oh , hahaha , i m just too stupid , heheh ... i forgot the h&r = bilstein
