I'm not really looking at a budge. but I'm also not spending 3k on suspension. I mean I fully understand you get what you pay for. I'm having some rough times find coilovers for the 2011 c300 4matic. is it worth just getting springs to drop it or coilovers for complete change.

There's only two companies that I'm aware of that makes custom coilovers for the 4Matic, all others are for RWD. Check out Broadway Static, and Flatout Suspension. Springs offer a decent drop as you can see above, but often times people who go with springs end up going with coils to go lower. I've also seen people be entirely content with springs only and run those for the life of their car. Search up the official lowering springs thread on here, it's very helpful with many pics.
Also here a review I did on YT for the H&R SS

I have the H&R SS because I was on a budget and didn't have the patience to save for coilovers. That being said I wish the front was lower but that backs are perfect. Also, my front lip scrapes on everything and I cracked a fin on my diffuser by backing into a driveway...

Damn that looks good. Between the 19's and the SS's how much stiffer than stock do you think it is? maybe 25-30%? Does it feel sporty or harsh?

that's going to be the thing with me too is if I want to deal with the scraping and the potholes. the front lip does give it a lot lower profile then I thought it would but I wanna tuck my wheels so there is less of a gap
