Gettin some new shoes, need help!
Okay, i Just ordered a set of iFORGED 22X10 Sprints in high polish for my ML320, and i wanted to lower my car. I want to buy something that would make my truck look real low, but without spending a whole lot. Does the Eibach kit make applications for the 2002 Models? How about H&R

most people get the H+R springs and bilstein shocks and just lower the torsion bars for the front. There was a review a few years ago in motor trend or car and driver that said the renntech suspension was by far the best and the other combos made the truck feel to unstable and nervous.

Viktorious ...
Since I didn't get a chance to post on the other thread before it was locked ...
Even with the proposed mods to your ML, you will not be competitive at shows. Plan on spending quite a bit more if you're serious about winning.
In the meantime, IMHO, you will only decrease the drivability and resale value of your ML. Just my $0.02.
Thanks.
RennTech's sales materials include a reprint of that article. I have it bookmarked.
Only to you, Pete.

Al, thanks for the comments, I do plan on doing more to my truck, January is when im getting a full fiberglass trunk installation with 3 monitors in the rear along with tv's in the headrests and in the sunvisors. Already got the monitor in the rear view with the V1 display in it. Hopefully for my birthday, my parents will get me the Brabus off-road kit, we'll have to see... but this is just phase 1 of my modifications. I also plan on replacing the burlwood with carbon fiber
so much for the Brabus off-road kit! But I'm glad you took the route you did with your car! Looks great!!
