They will fit. W203 applications fit the full run of production. 4-Matic and wagons excluded.
The advertised drop is typically based on non-sport cars, so you are right in that you will not get the advertised drop on your already lower sport suspension. I beleive the sport susp. is .5 inch lower than non sport, so subtract that from advertised drop and that is what you get. Proabably only half an inch versus an inch for example.

4matics use different springs don't they?
iirc Vogtland springs?
Or it's a different suspension from non-4matics?

yea, pretty sure vogtland is the only manufacturer with specific 4-matic springs. Front springs are different due to different front end set-up due to the differential and half shafts up front.
