Newbie Question: Some C230 Kompressor has stock height and some is more lowered.
I have a 2003 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan. I have the stock height. I noticed some C230 is a little lower than mine almost no wheel gap. Is that MB sports springs?
If so, what is the ride difference between?

AMG front/rear bumpers
AMG side skirts
enlarged front/rear sway bars
LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT
Larger brakes w/ cross drilled rotors (front)
I might be forgetting some things but I know for a fact that the lowered ride height is part of the AMG sport package upgrade.

You can but a set of Eibach Pro Kit spring set and they work on a stock 230 suspension and will get a similar lowered look ( I did with mine when my regular 3 of 4 MB springs broke) however I would add a thicker front and rear sway bar to get the best out of the upgrade

If you can get the AMG parts used at a good deal, fine, but I'd recommend going aftermarket instead if you're getting any parts new. AMG stuff tends to be on the wussy side of the spectrum.
As far as the sponsors here, I'd just say to look at all options, not just them, then decide.
