Default what should I get?

I just bought a 2002 silver C320.

I want a good set of lowering springs and also I was looking for the chrome outline piece that goes around the headlights. I also am looking for a set of 18" wheels, what size fits our vehicle. What size tire can I go with? 225/40/18? also what is the offset for our vehicles. If someone could please help me out, I am new to the forum. Thanks

what brands do you suggest? Anyone know the offset of our wheels, and what size rims and tires will fit our car dropped with no rubbing issues. Thanks

Find out what the 2002 C Class AMG model has for wheels and go with that size. Suspensions Eibach is the brand I like, but have your new wheels and tires mounted first, then get the suspension, as you'll know how much of a drop you really want. Keep in mind you probably has traction control, brake assist and ESP, they might not function correctly with all these suspension modes, check with someone who really knows Mercedes before you start the project. I'd check with Performance Products, they seem to know there stuff. But take my word on the wheels, no bigger then the AMG of the C Class, Sellers will try to talk you into larger, stay with the largest the factory uses on your model, as they know a lot more then aftermarket people think they know. I've been there and done that, so the voice of experience.
