Hey T,
I have been running on the KYBs on all corners for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. I'm not lowered but several guys run them on lowered setups with no problems. You can read Lantana's comments about them here:

KYB Gas-A-Just Monotubes - Front part# KG4731 and Rear part# KG4732
You can find them @ Rock Auto for around $55 ea. fronts & $63 ea. rears.
You may also still find them on Ebay, where I found mine.
Just search under the 2001 SLK320 to find them.
Also...Summit has them for $57.07 ea rears.
