which rear spring setup?
I've been looking for rear springs for my ML want to lower it like 2" if possible and get a firmer ride. What are people using? I'll adjust the front with the torsion bar adjustment.
There's a set on ebay branded "VOGTLAND," never heard of it but it's made in germany and drops 1.6" (biggest drop I can find so far)
H&R's drop it 1.25"
Any other brands with a larger drop?

2000 ML 320
My 2000 ML was lowered about a month ago with Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks. Since the 2000 ML's have a lousy ride quality anyway, nothing really changed. However, the handling has been impressive for an SUV since the lowering. I am running 20" wheels with 255/45 tires.
I have heard good things about the Vogtland springs though...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm planning to go to 20's too.
