front suspension

I bought a 2009 C300 last year. The front seems very low. I checked the front springs and I couldn't tell if they have been replaced. Were they very low from the factory? The front air dam is 4.5 inches off the ground next to the wheel. I would like to have it just a bit higher.

Looks about right... they do sit pretty low at the front. Betcha it's generally pretty hard to find a sport trim w204 that doesn't have some small scrapes on the bottom of the front lip haha

4.5 inches

Can you measure just in front of the front wheel and see what you get. My front air dam is only 4.5 inches off the ground..

That looks right. With my H&R springs that gap is cut in half if not more.

Yup that totally looks like the factory sport suspension. If it was a lux I would be worried.
