Lowering with Brabus, Lorinser, or Bilstein?

Which would be the best to use to lower my CLK? I've heard good things about Bilstein, I saw it in this forum a while ago but I can't find the thread anymore.

Are you looking for coilovers or just springs?

I realize you are looking for the whole set-up but I could not be happier w my Lorinser springs. I have them on the origional amg shocks (CLK55) and am thrilled with the ride quality an dthe look. I had H&R's and this is day and night- worth the premium IMO.

CLK63 Black Series
though my brabus set up is no coil overs, i am very happy with the Springs / Shocks combo from Brabus. Shocks are made by Sachs, i don't know who makes the springs. The ride is very close to stock and the car handles nice. Sits just right.. not too low, not too high.

Thanks for you opinions guys. With the Brabus springs, I'm not familiar with the pad numbers. Could someone explain this to me?

2004 CLK55
I have put the Brabus Lowering Suspension on MY2004 CLK55 last month. Ride is the same and maybe better at low speeds. Dropped about 1" and looks great. I should have done this when it it was new and put on the 19" wheels.
