the brabus springs would most likely lower the car more than the AMG springs. as for the exhaust, there probably isnt much difference in performance, if any at all, just a difference in sound

Hi, You cannot put the Brabus springs from a V6 into a V8 car, the frontend weight is to much. Brabus has a lowering spring set for the V8 whether its the CLK500 or the CLK55 Amg it will suit both models. You may get away with the rear springs but I would double check the part numbers.
The Brabus part number I have on my CLK55 AMG Cabrio are Front 203-108-100 VA (1130 kg) & Rear 203-100-200 HA (1055 kg Cabrio), You may also get way with 203-100-201 HA (1035 kg Coupe) on the rears as well. It droped 10mm in the front & 25mm at the rear after it finally settled.
