In the UK (probably the same in all of Europe?) there is the option to spec the car with the 'R-Design' kit, and I have hardly seen any facelift C30s here without that kit. That kit gives the lower suspension and bodykit. So if the bottom trim around the car looks like this, then it has the 'R-Design' and has the sportier suspension:

If it looks like this around the bottom of the car, then it doesn't have the R-Design kit and so doesn't have the sportier suspension:

Hope that helps.
