Glad to know that you got your ML lowered. D2 gave me everything done for $800. That include H&R springs and Bilstein Shocks. No hassle ordering springs and shocks from somewhere else. Oh well, like 50 bucks gonna make a big difference.
Since you're happy about the lowered ML, I think I'm going for that too.
Also, yeah..those OEM wheels are still sitting in my garage. Let me know if you need them. They are in mint condition, merely a scratch. Well, I haven't find one yet. Tyres are about 15% worn out. :P they are Bridgestone unirotation tyres. Good tyres. I'll take pictures of them ASAP so you can take a good look at them. If anything, just e-mail me, since you're in LA area too. Perhaps we can even go for a coffee break. hehe.

Regards, Jason

Hi Jason.
To answer your question: I have 20" Brabus rims on my ML paired with Dunlop Sport 9000 tires (295/40ZR20). I love the rims but I do not recommend the tires!

Take care, Donna

Cool Lowering ML 430 Who performed the work

I just purchased a ML 430 I would like to get it lowered, any suggestion on a professional place that can performed the work in Texas.

I purchased some Lorinzer springs for the rear and had some adjustments done to the front "torsion" bars. This achieved a nice balance and lowered it nicely for me. I have been happy with the outcome and the vehicle handles so much better.

I also had some 20" Brabus wheels put on. It looks great!

(Now if Mercedes could only fix their problems...I am afraid this may be my last Mercedes.)

I hope this helps,
Donna
