Aftermarket rear springs length

I,m looking to replace my rear springs on my W204 C180 avantgarde. I know its lower than a normal because of the avantegard sport chassi but i would appreciate some guidance on how long the actual spring is. Its sold in Europe and as i understand it its 300mm long?

I dont think measuring the Mercedes spring you have in the car then buying another brand spring in the same length will necessarily work, I think spring rate has to be taken into account, how stiff or soft they are. The springs could be the same length but made of thicker material for example.

What brand springs are you looking to get?

What color markings are on your current springs? My 4matic sport has a purple and a yellow dot on them.

Why do you want aftermarket springs? I went cheap and replaced my old rusted springs with a used set in great condition for around $55.
