Do I can keep the stock struts and just get lowering springs? That will let me still have the functionality of the "sport" button and will provide a lower ride height?
Yah I am afraid it will get the 4 x 4 look with aftermarket wheels too.
I was saying you may want to go 30 instead of 35 because that is a lower aspect ratio aka the sidewall will be shorter giving you more space.
and yes if you switch the springs it will adjust the height without effecting any of the electrical features.

*trying 34psi on all corners, suggested is 33 for all corners under normal load.
*will probably wait until next tire change to go 245s in front and 275s in rear.
*will probably install 15mm spacers in the back soon, will replace the lugs with black lugs at that time and add wheel locks.

Now I do like the current fitment but was offered a more clean looking Rial M10 8.0x18 ET45 all-around, should fit the car right? OEM Amg wheels are 18" x 8" ET45 by the manual it seems.
e. Ditched the Rials, got 18" x 8" ET45 and 8,5" ET49 double 6-spoke AMGs instead, will fiddle around with spacers later.
AFAIK the car has not been lowered, no AMG-package either.
