Lowering Springs question

I have an 06 c230 ss. I want to lower it on H&R's. Does anyone know if the 05 springs will fit an 06. I know we have the same chasis but different motor and weight. What do you think?

you can use the C240/320 springs if you want to lower the car. The new V6 weights heavier than the C230k's i-4, but similiar in weight as the C240/320

it should be fine either way... just change the padding to #1... stock 2005 C230k comes with #2 padding. 2006 C230 should be the same also. changing the padding will lower your car 1/8 inch more
