Question about the W203 Rear spring pads.

I have a 2003 C240. Im running the H&R cup kit with 1 coil cut in the front. It rides Great but, the rear is just a hair higher then the front. I was thinking about changing the rear spring pads to even out the drop. What is the stock spring pad width for a C240? If I put the 5mm pad will I go a little lower in the rear? Or does my car already come with the smallest spring pad? Let me know.
Thanks again

H&R Cup kit comes with 2mm Pad in rear, so if you want to make it higher you can change that pad by removing it and put 4MM which will looks great,

Very strange. My cup kit did not come with pads. Just springs, and shocks. I need to go lower in the rear. What is the smallest spring pad for the rear??
Thanks again

Well..

When first time i put cup kit the workshop keep the pad which i guess comes from the munifactue with the car it was size 2

but i change it to size 4 because with 2 the rear will be lower than the front.. so 4-5 are the best size to equal the two side front and rear to be the same and very good looking..
