4Matic Ride Height

Does anyone know if the ride height on the C350 4matic is different than the RWD? Mercedes website doesn't indicate a height difference but I don't really trust it.

It doesn't seemt to be consistently reported - I've seen it shown in various places as the same ride height or 1/2 inch higher for the 4M.

If it is different, it can't be much - it is not apparent from visual comparison.

I know a lot of you guys love to drop your rides further "lower" even by an inch or two .... but i love how the C300 even the 4matics look in height i had the Lexus IS 250 AWD and hated seeing how large the gap was soo i'm quite pleased with the ours look !!! Hey a girl really doesnt notice the difference between an inch or two wink wink ...... J/K

I think 4matic is a little bit lower than RWD, especially the rear wheels
