2003 CLK 320
wont happen. consider that the springs for a clk500 will withstand the weight of the v8 engine vs the 2.5v6. if you want to lower, you might consider getting aftermarket or if you want to keep oem, have an auto shop cut them (not the recommended option)

Or get a post facelift w203 with the sport suspension and use the suspension off that. It is lower than the avant-garde and luxury suspensions from other w203s maybe an 05+ sometimes they have then in the classifieds

C32 springs are actually higher than the SS springs. If you cut your stock springs be careful cause you'll be changing the spring rate on the springs and the handling will be compensated over time. Just look for a set of used SS springs in the classified section. People usually sell the whole set for less than 200.

I may be willing to part with my OEM springs from my '05 C230 if the price is right. Only thing is you would have to get the front and rear.
