2005 C230 SS which lower spring can fit ??

I know Eibach and H&R make lower spring for W203 (2001-2004). how about the 2005 ?? because the ride height is lower on 2005 !! So if I want to lower my 2005 C230 SS, whats the option ?? coilover or just spring ?? Anyone done that before ?? Thanks

it all depends on your budget.....

if you wanna save some cash in your pocket... go with HnR springs or any lowering springs that fits your needs/wants...

if money isnt a thing.. then go ahead and get coilovers... you can go from TIENs basic coilovers - HnR coilovers- to KWv2s - or even go with bilstein PSS9s if you want...

give us a budget and we can narrow it down for you...

My budge is about 1k, but my real concern is the fitment ! So all the lowering option on C320 and C240 will also fit on 2005 C230 SS ?? My 2005 C230 has the gap between tires and fender three finger in the front and two finger at the back, How about those C320 and C240?? If my 2005 C230 SS is lower than C320 and C240 stock ( like 1" lower). Why I need to get the H&R or some other lower springs ? I think I need some coilovers !! Please advise !!

Thanks
