Use the same springs
Isn't the height of the car mainly controlled by the springs though? If he wants it lowered, wouldn't he need shorter springs? Changing shocks alone would only affect ride stiffness, but not height. Or is there something about the C-class that works differently than that?

if you want to lower it, you'll have to get new springs or thinner spring pads.

H&R Sports or Super Sports

choose the latter if you want a more aggressive drop
