Lowering W204

Alright, I have scowered the internet looking for this topic. What is the deal with lowering this car? I found Eibach springs but are we going to be able to run coilovers on this car? If so, if its that easy to swap out the suspension, then what does the SPORT button do? Does it just control the tranny for aggressive driving? This car is in no way on some type of air ride, right? I want a stock black one of these, with the AMG five spokes and a perfect drop with a coilover kit. The car would be done aesthetically! Anyone know how this is going to work? Thanks.

One more thing, and I know this has been addressed, but is anyone scared of the electronics on this car? I want this car really really bad but I am scared of the electrics not lasting cause I have been burned with Mercedes in the past. I dont want to lease, I would like to buy the car... Thoughts on that also? Thanks again.

I can't tell you about lowering the car...but for the electronics there is always a risk.

This car (especially with the MM) has a lot of parts that can go wrong. There is a forum on here where people can post their problems with the car. So far none reported, but the cars are still so new that it'll take months before problems start popping up.
