Should I get Lowering Springs or Coilovers
CPO 2016 C300W4 Sport... 25K on it. I use it as a daily driver... but wanted a more sporty look. I am going to be getting 19" rims as well. I looked to see if there were any threads on this already but couldn't find any.. sorry for the noob question.

Thanks

I've heard you can't go wrong with H&Rs but longevity of the stock shocks with lowering is still a question.

Also in the same boat - in the past I've always gone with progressive rate springs and FSD dampers to improve handling and comfort, but that's been on BMW and Audi chassis...

I went with Bilstein B12 suspension kit (Bilstein B8 Shock + Eibach Pro-kit short spring) for my C300 4matic



It's reasonably comfortable at front, a bit stiffer at rear for this setup.
