I am not too sure about the springs but most Mercedes ride height comes from spring pads available in many sizes.
The CLK 55 AMG suffers from negative camber from a 5 link progressive suspension. The tires wear horribly on the insides. In stock trim it is difficult to get positive camber out of the geometry.
When you lower this car it will only get worse. There are pricey alternatives.
I used to cut a half coil out (no torch) of the spring to go low on some cars but this car is low enough for most street applications.

Vogtland makes springs for W208 CLK55. You can get come MBArts camber arms for the rear and K-Mac camber kit for the front. I have this set up on my C43 and love it
