@Klinh: Yes, the "Lowered Sport Suspension" was an option on both the V6 and V8 W209's (standard on the CLK55/65 AMG cars).
This whole "sport package" thing is really a confusing issues for MBZs. In most cases, the "sport package" is just an appearance upgrade that adds AMG-styled bumpers and wheels. But some models also offer the "sport suspension" which upgrades most suspension components to AMG parts. The reality is, for the price of the sport suspension package, you could actually get better aftermarket parts.

Sorry if this has been asked at least a thousand times. I really tried to search first. I also searched sites by Brembo, Zimmermann to try to answer this question: for a 2004 CLK500, which my MB dealer says I do not have the sport package: what is the difference between "sport package" front brake rotors and "non-sport package" front brake rotors, except for the fact that sport ones are drilled. Size wise (diameter, thickness, etc) they both seem to be the same.
