lowering MLs
hey all,
I lowered my ML with the eibach spring kit on the rear, and i was wondering if i should lower the front torsion bar at all (if so how much should i lower it??), to add to the handling/looks of the ML. If anyone has had some experience with this, please let me know, thanks.

I lowered my rear with H&R springs and lowered the torsion bars only very slightly at the dealership. They charged me $300 to install the springs and lower the front torsion bars.
Hey, how do your Eibach springs ride? I was wondering if the ride is as still as my H&Rs. Is it comfortable? Do you rub?

i got my eibach's at the same time i switched to the 18" ML55 AMG wheels and tires (from stock 16", 255/65) so i can only judge the differences for both additions. But even with both the wheels and eibachs, the ride is still comfortable enough, the only slight problem was going over speed bumps or "offroading" (yeah, um, by that i mean driving on gravel or grass). other than that the ride is stiffer where it should be, and makes high speed lane changing or slow speed cornerning more stable, and with less body roll through the corners. Also, i tried to get the stealership to install my eibachs, but they refused, so i took it to a custom shop... oh well. Ill try going back to the dealer to see if theyll lower the torsion bar. Thanks for your help,

I have a question. Why would anyone want to lower a SUV? I can understand a Coupe or a Seden but a SUV, COME ON NOW!!!!
What the purpose of buying a SUV if you going to lower it. You want it to handle like a sport car? Then get a sport car. SUV are meant to be offroad/carry kids to and from football games, etc...
Well, it just my 2 cent
