Spring Rates and Weight Distribution
I am looking into replacing the suspension on a C320 4matic, and am needing some reference points for picking springs. So hopefully someone can answer the following:
1) Weight distribution front to rear?
2) What are the stock spring rates?
3) What are the spring rates for the sport package?
4) What are the spring rates for the Euro sport package (I heard those are stiffer)?
I am trying to figure out if I should get a kit or buy the pieces separately. My concern is that the kit spring rates are too stiff.
Thanks!

'08 E550 4Matic
As far as I know the only company that makes lowering springs for the 4matic is vogtland. You will have to contact vogtland directly and inquire about them, since there are only 2 sets in the US, and I have 1.
as for spring rates, not a clue.
