Difference in spring height with sports and luxury?

Is there a difference between the Sports edition and the luxury edition in terms of suspension spring height? I've sort of noticed that my car, a luxury edition is slightly higher than the sports, though I'm not 100% sure. I was hoping to lower my car just a little but not low enough to get Eibach or H&R springs. I've changed my spring pad already at the rear to 5mm but I'm still hoping to lower my by maybe another 5mm only. Any suggestions? If the sports edition has a different set of springs, does anyone have the part number for it? My car is a W204 C280 Euro version. Many thanks!

The Mercedes benz website states that vehicle height for the Sport model is 56.3 inches, versus luxury with 56.9. they dont actually show wheel gap as a spec but this should be pretty accurate

Sport is apparently lower by 15mm. This ties back to the figures quoted by joshg1001 as well.

Does anyone have the part number for the springs for the sport edition? Apparently, they don't offer the sport edition here where I'm from so they don't have the part numbers at the dealer. Thought maybe I can point them in the right direction with a part number.

Don't want to spend for PSS10s or coilovers just yet.
