Sports suspension and avantgarde suspension

Suspension of avantgarde is different from sports suspension?

My car is avantgarde version.(one of european version) I read that avangarde=lowered suspension,sport=lowered sports suspension(read U.K. MB web pages--->
classic and elegance=comfort suspension, sport=sports suspension, avantgarde=what?).
For using 18" AMG wheels, my car must need sports suspension or not?
I have to know because I got 18"AMG styling 4.



Thanks in advance.

In Europe the Advangarde line equips the 485 suspension or the 677 which is the one that is lowered 15 mm but both are soft suspensions, for the sporty one you have to select the AMG line and the 486 suspension
