You haven't read through the suspension thread or done any research on the suspensions available for the w203, have you?
My car was the test mule for the 230K SS TEIN suspension. Since I had the 2004.5, I had upgraded springs already and they were able to get a better drop percentage off all the products they offer for suspension as compared to other manufacturers (H&R and Eibach were the earliest ones).
Anyhow, the TEIN Basic's give you about the same feeling in ride comfort as the Sport Suspension. Honestly, do a lot more research prior to your deciding on a setup. You'll be happier in the long run, based on people's experiences.

New rim fitment question...!!!
I've got a set I'm lookin to buy and this company says they'll fit my '05 c230...however I was kind of skeptical since the rear offset is 40...
The sizes are 19x8.5 30et and 19x9.5 40et...please help!
also does the higher offsets mean more or less clearance?

I have Tein Basic now and rubbed pretty often over certain bumps in low/high speed if I had 2/3 people sitting at the back. PLUS, I have some sound system stuffs in the trunk now.
I do know how to solve/reduce the problem tho, I need 245s in the rears
I rub a little in the fronts againts the wheel cover..
I have ET 35 R BTW..

I personally like these!! A plus to these is that you can take the MB caps off your stock rims and put them on these rims. Mandrus makes rims specifically for Mercedes cars.

have a look through the picture thread as well as the wheel thread. also look in the same two threads in the AMG W203 section also- from an appearance standpoint, they are pretty much the same car.
