Sport, 6speed moddability questions and other things
Hopefully you guys can help me, I'm really, really new to the benz world. I just recently test drove a Palladium silver c300 Sport in a six speed, I've always been one to dismiss Mercedes in general because I have a really, really severe abhorrence towards anything that has less than 3 pedals. The clutch, short shift er and everything is top notch, not 3 series good but definitely a million times better than I was expecting. I'm really, really interested in this car but being completely ignorant to Mercedes -- I have a bunch of questions:
1 - The ride height is borderline insane to me, we're talking 3 inches of wheelgap if not more, what are my options in terms of lowering it? Simple spring kit or are coilovers my only choice?
2 - Is there any ecu / ecm reflashes available for it to dismiss the ESP system entirely and maybe bump the hp up a bit?
3 - I'd be doing a 48 month lease, i'd most likely end up with a Package 2 in Palladium or Arctic with the panoramic roof, what would I be realistically looking at in terms of a payment, sign and drive wise?
Any help on any of these subjects would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

C300 (W204) w/ MM, P1, & 18"amg's
1- You can get H&R springs and lower it around 1.5" after it rests and IMO look great if you have the 18" amg
2- No chips out yet. Im also waiting for it, I wonder how much HP you can get out of this engine with mods lol.
3- No Idea, someone else on here will tho lol; MBtex?
