i believe you can get -60mm springs from GSF (german, sweedish, french)

coilovers i dont know about though... but i am sure thqat someone will point you in the right direction very soon.

You can't fit coilovers to 190's i'm afraid. Well not without doing exstensive work to the chassis.

You can fit 40mm lowering springs with you exsisting shocks but if you go down 60mm
you will need shorter sports shocks.

HnR do a sport 60mm shock and spring kit
Coilovers were not produced for the 190e, but some can be made to fit, the inner arch will require work to mod coilovers to work on a W201 chassis.

You can also adjust by using the spring pads .
