Difference between C350 - C63 Struts and Shocks?

I have the 2013 C350 with the sport package. I have the opportunity to purchase a set of almost new C63 struts and shocks. I looked up in the EPC and it is different part numbers for both the C350 and C63.

I am wondering if it is different rebound between the two. I think that it would be compatible with perhaps a firmer ride.

I recently replaced my front sway bar with the C63 one and it made a difference, with the C63 bar being 1 mm bigger in diameter. I also plan to replace the rear sway bar with the C63 one as well

Any inputs are appreciated.

Should be compatible, SHOULD, but not a guarantee. My guess is that they're lower and much stiffer than what you'd find on the C350.

C63 is without a doubt a little lower and a little firmer.
