New to me 05 CLK500- correct suspension parts

***Newbie Alert*** - I was wondering how one goes about finding out exactly what options are on the car. I've decoded on a couple of sites and the most detailed one I found was carinfo.kiev.ua -- It looks like my new 05 CLK500 has the 954 Equipment Package For Avantarde vehicles, which I think is also known as "sports package".

But when I search online for strut (assemblies) - there are choices that include "With/Without self leveling", "With/Without airmatic suspension", "With/Without 4-matic", "Standard suspension", "without black series", "Sport Suspension", "Sport Package", "Standard edition", "Exc.Sport Suspension", "Exc.Sport Package",

https://classicparts.mbusa.com/v-200...cks-and-struts

Without searching for the part numbers on the components that are currently installed- how can I determine what I have?

Thanks
