Brabus vs. RennTech Lowering Springs - HELP!!!

I need to make this decision in the next day or so. They both for the most part lower the car about the same if i am not mistaken, brabus is 1.0" rear/1.2" front, i spoke to one person who liked them that had them, they are $150 less than RennTech, and probably manufactured by the same people. Any advice on this???

Thanks,
Colby

ps- i sitll have my stock c32 17" wheels for sale, myw wheels arrive this week!

Springs that are manufactured by the same factory doesnt mean they are the same. They could have different specs/spring rates. Sometimes you will hear people saying why buy AMG shocks, they are made by SACHS, why dont you just buy SACHS shocks instead. To me, that is BS. Who knows if AMG has asked SACHS to make them some very special shocks built specifically for AMG cars?

Back to your question.....get Renntech springs as they are best matched with your AMG shocks.
