What did you pay for your BRABUS Monoblock VI's?
Hello all. For those of you with Brabus or Brabus replica's, could you post the price you paid, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

ppl have to understand the price including the tires are really different if one has more expensive tires or if they have other tires. The Yokohama ES100 along cost me $600 from tirerack.

I had no plans to start modding this car but it is a part of what I have always done. I just dont want to loose all of the lux. feeling with my mods. I have a twin turbo Nissan for a sports car. My M6 was stiff but not unbearable to me. I guess I can say that I dont want the ride to change to the point of saying damn what have I done......
If your origninal 16's got a 10 in terms of ride, what do your 17's get compared with springs and without?

Insert 17s with max performance tires and sport springs (Brabus) and you can definitely feel the road no question. It feels good except when you go on road imprefections, then you feel the jitters in the cabin. Ride I would say is about a 7 out of 10. But the Control and handling have improved by 200%.
So its A cast off. I wouldnt be able to back to stock. but, I Wouldnt mind a little more refinement when it comes to going over bumps. But as a whole when it comes to road feel/handling and Aesthetics of tire gap, I am extremely happy.

Im planning on getting the Brabus VI as well.. still unsure about going 17" or 18" though. Was hoping for better grip.. but Im not sure if the car will feel heavier and less agile..
