Anyone have any suspension recomendations? What looks good and what improves handling?

In both performance and comfort, I'd have to say that the recently released Kleemann suspension is by far the best. I had H&R and Koni Adjustables before, and they don't compare to this. I'll be putting one on a C32 pretty soon.

Is it designed specifically for the C32 or the C class in general?

There would be no benefit to have a seperate suspension for each one. All C class sedans have the same Chasis, and weigh virtually the same.

I wonder how much improvement that is over the cup kit. 
 
Also what about the Brabus or Carlsson kits? How do they compare to the other offerings?

H&R coilover kits are great, especially if you want to be able to adjust the ride height of your car. Personally, I don't recommend Brabus or Carlsson because they are both simply revalved Bilstens matches with Eibach springs. If you're looking for a pre-packaged kit, go for the Kleemann suspension; it really is amazing.

I think this calls for a stiffer spring and a differently valved shock. Renntech, and other tuners, offer a specific kit for the C32. I can't say I have driven a Kleemann car but I will look into it when my C32 arrives. Is your C32 working yet or is it still way down on power? The C32 does need a different spring in the front. 80 pounds of extra mass in the nose requires a much different set - up than a normal C-Class car. A general one would work but the front end would not feel right.

doesnt the c32 ride an inch lower than the others?
