Evening all, completely new to MB, coming from Toyota/Lexus and everything is very unfamiliar.

Picked this car up today for a bit of a steal

C180 Amg Spor Model Detail C180 Blueefficiency 7G-Tronic
Estate facelift model on a 62 plate
1.6L turbo (I think its the M270 engine?)
122k miles
Almost FSH, some from MB

I bought it with an ABS fault, supposedly implausible readings from both front wheels?? (yet to investigate)

I plan to replace the front ABS rings and sensors with new to get rid of the ABS fault (fingers crossed).

I'm also looking at a pair of front shocks, which is a little confusing. They all say something like this:
"for vehicles without AMG sports package, for vehicles with standard suspension, for vehicles with sports suspension"

As I understand it, mine has the AMG trim, but does that also mean the suspension is different? Does the AMG sport also bring suspension changes? I'm hoping not, since I'd rather have the most comfortable version.

I'm also hoping to fit a reversing camera that will integrate with the OEM head unit, I've seen a few guides, but they are all slightly different??

Any resources, VIN decoders, exploded parts diagram website recommendations are much appreciated as I know nothing about MB,
Cheers, boz
