Actually, if you look at this pic, it does have two pulleys.

Is that legit?
They look basically like the spam that I've gotten with respect to their Spring sales.
So, does that mean that Brabus is having sales difficulties, or just that they're expanding? Interesting.

I just dont know what is going on with Brabus NA. The world's biggest car tuning company is selling their products on eBay???? I have already received a couple of calls from my clients saying "what's the story with Brabus on eBay, I thought you told me Brabus NEVER give out discounts?" I really dont know what to answer!
IMO, they have made the biggest mistake ever! It will only hurt the image of their company.

The guy I talked to said that they're just trying it out to get rid of excess inventory on some items.
The spam email is the same thing, just slightly different media.
My answer would be, "they're selling older stuff. enjoy the savings." MB discounts 2002s - does that take anything away from them that they can't sell older models at msrp? It's business, that's all. Better than writing off the entire amount, isn't it?

They are not only selling older stuff. They are selling W209 NEW CLK lowering springs!! That is just ridiculous. Their start price is even lower than the wholesale price! I dont mind them getting rid of their overstock items, but please, not with those pricing. Who is going to order from dealers from now on?

C230 Coupe
I was going to buy a set of H&R lowering springs from Ebay for $215 but then I saw the Brabus Lowering Springs for the W203 for $275 so I bid, getting a set of Brabus for only $50 more is ok in my book

That sh*t ain't right!

Woah, ML-class bodykit for only $1600?? Even a fibreglass replica costs $700-800!
SLK320 exhaust for $95?? They must be joking! I just searched some no-name generic mufflers and they cost $100 on average!

Brabus w203
im not really sure but i always thought they just slap their name on other springs.. i think its that same as eibach... but either way it says brabus on it and the brabus cup kit is not too bad...price list says $1,275 but you can always get it cheeper...and it says "comfortable setting. incl. 4 shorter BRABUS sport springs and 4 BRABUS sport shock absorbers"

Will Brabus introduce a new kit for the C?
Currently the E, CLK, SL,G, face-lifted S and CL are all part of the brabus quad-light family. Do you guys think that they will design a new front for the C?
The C was face-lifted for 2003 right?

BRABUS Springs
I've noticed that the Brabus Springs on ebay from Brabus are pretty low in pricing. I was just wondering though compared to the H&R springs or any other brand, they claim that their's is the highest rated. I'm sure that others claim that too, but is that true? I don't know too many people who got those ones. However, the people with the H&R set don't complain. Does it really toughen up the ride a lot? How much does the springs void the warranty?

hi
from what i hear...brabus just use other manufacturers spring and put their names on it....but im not sure
but some also say brabus springs and any other tuner springs will be softer in ride than H&R,eibach and the kind...
although you change the srings u wont notice that much of a difference in a BEMZ....my bro and fren changed the springs but ride is still soft....
but its different case in BMW>...the ride is harsh stock..and even harsher with springs

Yes, it is legit.
And yes, I am an idiot. I totally spaced out when I bidded on the sills. I did end up getting them - was the loser, but they honored my "up-to" bid (seems that they have too many), so I bought 'em without thinking about the sedan/coupe differences.
So now, gotta call them tomorrow to see if we can work out an exchange when I receive the sedan sills. I was in a daze from working too damn much on our financials. Also ordered a steering wheel and door pins. Which is good, since I'm so tired of the feel of the stock wheel. Anyone want to buy a C7 charcoal steering wheel?
