I am trying to decide on which brand of springs to go with for a spring only upgrade.

I'm considering Renntech, Brabus, Intrax, and Eibach. All of them seem to be rated at different heights, so I want to see which one I would like more. I understand that Renntech is probably the best improvement with spring only upgrade, but the drop is rated at 1.75/1.35? I might consider something with less of a drop. How it looks will also play a large part in the decision.

Anybody have pictures of their car on Renntech, Brabus, Intrax, or Eibach springs with stock 17" C32 amg wheels? I don't plan on getting wheels for awhile.

Thanks.

Your numbers are a bit off, bothe Renntech and Brabus only give you about 1.1"-1.25" front and 1.0-1.2"" rear drop. The exact figures really depend on your car's options.

Ohh doh. Didn't know that because from reading other posts, I had the impression that the Renntech was a more severe drop. So both of them are pretty much the same height, except Brabus has a lower spring rate?

I think I'm leaning towards Renntech =). I was trying to decided between Renntech and Brabus mainly...but Renntech is quite a lot for a set of springs only! Hmm...any reason why not Brabus? =)
