My C280, year 2007/2008 is too low. Every time I have to pass over a bump (obstacle) it hits the ground! So I heard abou Korean TCC Urethane Cushion Buffer and I would like to know if using that part I will have problems with the stability of the car.
Thanks, in advance, for any helpful answer!

A normal W204 C280 should not be "low".
Is the car "lowered" ?
Are there broken springs ?

No,may be I did not check the springs properly. I recheck. And the car was not lowered!
But a technical advisor, at the dealer, told me that all W204 is usually very low. And that is the only imperfection of the C280!
There are a lot of obstacles to reduce speed where I live, and is always a problem when I have to drive over them, even at very low speed and just me in the car!
Thank you for the help!

Rubbish. I run a W204 C220 and it never grounds on traffic humps.

Do you have mudflaps installed? We too have a number of speed bumps in and out of our community, and we have never bottomed out on them. However, when exiting the driveway with a low angle approach we will sometimes bottom out the front mudflap as the drop-off to the road is pretty dramatic. Overall I like the mudflaps, after I installed them the rear of the vehicle appears to stay a bit cleaner.

The only issue I ever have is with parking curbs. I no longer let the front end overhang them, as my front bumper catches.
