I've been using H&R sport for about 1 year now.
The ride quality probably decreased about 20% and potholes are a stab to the heart.
But the car looks so good with them I can't complain.
Also, I drove a total of 5000 km last summer going on trips in British Columbia with 4 people in the car and there was no issue with rubbing.

Okay I've never had experience with lowering springs on a Mercedes...BUT...I do on other cars. Have found that Eibachs tend to sag after a few years. H&R has always produced quality products. But that's just my experience of course

I guess I never thought about the long term durability of the springs. I never knew they sagged over time. (Sorry no experience with lowered cars)

Thanks to everyone's input I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the H&R Sports. I think I got a good deal at a local shop. $500 for the springs, install and wheel alignment. My appointment is this Friday, I can't wait!
