W203 hight.......
I'm trying to RAISE my 07 c280, not sure what would be needed.
Longer springs?
If so which ones? Are they any longer than the standard ones?
Coilovers?
Do they even work that way, all ppl seem to use them for is lowering.
Spring pads?
My car came with #3 pads and they only go up to #4, are they any aftermarket spring pads that Will fit and work?
Any info would be very helpful.

I assume you mean the rear of your W203 since you are talking about spring pads?
I think spring pads are your best bet. The #4 are 17mm and also I think the suspension geometry have a compounding effect since in the rear the spring is not over the shock.
Coilovers will not work, they all lower the car.
Longer springs might work but I don't think you'll be able to find any unless you do trial and error or some very good detective work. Also you will be changing the spring rate which is probably ok up to a few hundred pounds but you'd want to know if your damper is compatible and also what the new spring rates are.
Maybe you could custom make some spacers like the spring pads. If they were static and fit correctly, they could work but again I'd just get the larger spring pad to start.
