noob needs help on lowering car!
HI, i'm a new memeber and this site is off the hook! Anyhow, I want to lower my c320 but dont know which setup is right for me, ie: springs, coil overs, cup kits, etc. I want the car lowered but don't want any rubbing (car hiting the ground or whatever) when i have large adults in the back seat. Which specific product would you recommend and why. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

2003 C230K Sedan
I have installed H&R coilver on my C230K sedan for over a month now and I am extremely happy with it. I have the car sitting at the lowest setting that is still sensible to street driving and I have sat 2 adults at the back with groceries in the trunk. No bottoming out. I have 225/245 staggered setup. The ride is a little harsher than stock but well within my tolerance level. The car handles like a go-kart and looks great.

The drop is around 1.3 inches. There is 1 finger gap in the back. Around 2 fingers in the front. Its perfect for me. I have not even changed my driving style that much either.
