2002 c240
Suspension + Wheels + Exhaust Help
New to the forum and car mods in general.
I'm getting a 2002 c240 soon, but the front suspension is making squeaking noises. I figure it's about time to have the springs and struts replace, as the car is at about 120,000km.
Never done any mods to cars before, so this is a new experience. I'm looking to lower the car just a little bit just to improve the handling and not for looks. I'm still unsure of whether I should get coilovers or separate struts/springs. After lowering, would I need new sway bar connecting rods too?
The I have the 16" OEM wheels, but am considering upgrading to OEM 17" AMG ones (from a c350 - found the locally on craigslist). Is there any issue since the rears are wider than my stock ones?
I also found an AMG catback exhaust from a C350. Would this fit on my car?
Thank you so much for your help

depends on how much drop you want. search the picture and wheel threads to see what people are running and doing. trolling through the forums helps out a lot and using the search button. I'd do this first before a lot of members say STFF. just a fore warning.
also there is no AMG C350
