You are right it looks alittle high but it does handle better and u just have to let springs settle ..check this out I just lowered mine with Eibach for a couple days ago and 15% tint.

For looks alone sure you can do what you want 
. I suspect that a lot of benz owners don't care much about performance or funcationality and they do whatever to make the car look nice.
Technical talking, I'm sure someone else has mentioned this as well, when you cut springs, it ruins the integrity of the springs because they are designed to perform best at their specs.
In the world of modding, people will say you are ricer for cutting springs, painting calipers, installing neon lights, putting on huge none-fuctional wings, etc etc...

U might not like because I dont have the AMG Caliper but what if I replace those with one of those Brembo kits is it difference ? or u still call me ricer ? lolz. Neon lights and huge wings uhh no not for me. I think I know what "ricer" means

/\This is not my first time signing for a forum nor my first time reading threads like this. I come from a much more performance oriented car, S2000, and knowledge from a much more performance oriented forum, S2ki.
Like I said, if it's pure looks, you can cut any springs you want. From a performance standpoint, it's absolutely dumb to cut springs. Just because you read a bunch of threads about people cutting springs and are happy, that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. If you want to do it correctly, get coilovers.
If you can afford to get an CLK, then I'm sure you can afford to get some coilovers.

OH yeah and I would get brembo brakes in your case instead of painting the calipers. What are you achieving by painting the calipers? trying to look like you have after market calipers (Brembo?) ? Some people might call that posing....
