W204 C220 - Coilovers or Springs

Hi Guys,
im looking to lower my W204 c220- need some recommendations...
Are H&R super sport springs good? with the current Mercedes shocks.. I want an even drop all around - and not too bouncy!

Or do I go with coilovers?

Your shocks won't last that long with stock shocks, if you want to use the stock sport shocks better go with the H&R sport springs, not as aggressive.

I want to get at least around 30-40mm drop... A lot of people on this forum have used Super Sports?
Have you used normal sport springs?

No, I myself am on Super Sports but with Bilstein B8 Shocks. I had the SS on stock Lux shocks and it rode horribly, very bouncy. The stock sport would be less bouncy but still not valved to handle the drop of the SS for long term.

Cheers for your feedback - you got any pics of your drop?
Think ill just go with KW Variant 1 Coilovers - rather than just springs to be on the safe side!
