You'll need 10mm for the sways. If I remember right c32 and post facelift use the 12mm

AMG w203s use 12mm fronts sway bar end links while non AMG w203s use 10mm front sway bar end links.

The rears for both are 10mm.

Get the 10mm and you'll be fine!

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. If you are just wanting to replace your stock setup, then the 10 mm would be the way to go. On the others hand, if you want to change the feel of the car you can go a bit thicker with either or both. There are several threads on what you can do...and some pretty knowledgeable people on how the changes will work to change the handling and feel of the car.
