Wondering if the H&R Coilovers for W203 Coupe fit on a 99 C230K.
The W203 is the C230K model.

Also, what are the pads people are talking about when doing suspension?

there are rubber pads above your springs...
these pads come in 5 different sizes and can change your ride hieght...
they are numbered by small lumps around the edge of the pad,with #1 being the thinest,and 5 being the thickest...

To answer your big question. w203 coilovers will not fit a w202 car, as they use different suspension architecture. To keep things simple, here are 2 pictures to show you the difference.
