Hi,
You,ve not said wether you got a classic sport avangarde etc if its not a sport you could try fitting new rubber pads from a sport on the top of the springs as this will lower the car up to 2inches (if the c220 classic i saw parked next to mine is anything to go by)
Try this link look at item no. 8 these are the shims i,m on about.

think carefully about lowering it specially in conjunction with your wheels as it will really rattle your teeth i,m running with 15" amgs alloys and genuine merc bilstein amg shox and as its a sport it is so low looks good but wish i still had my sport shox as i would change them back

If you alter the ride height by more than 20mm the whole steering and suspension needs re setting. this can only be done by someone with the correct jigs, and not the normal tyre change optical outlet. Do ask Turnipsock.

It is part No. 8, you can also alter the spring No.5 as well. It looks like there are 8 different versions for your car http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.as...GM=716.626&CT=F&cat=45H&SID=32&SGR=015&SGN=01

There is also 7 different settings once you have changed the springs or rubbers for castor and camber angle.
