Worth It?-->BRABUS/Renntech Suspension Upgrades

Ladies/Gents,

I'm contemplating a either a BRABUS or Renntech Sport Suspension upgrade.

1. Has anyone here done this upgrade?
2. Do you like the ride quality?
3. For price vs. performance, do you think it was worth the money?

I don't plan on getting bigger wheels or any of the big ticket BRABUS or Renntech upgrades, just the Sport Suspension.

Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
H3rmes

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
i have brabus suspension on a couple of my cars... i like it. and i thought it was worth it with the other components i installed. i was going for the full conversion look though. but if you just want suspension, it isnt necessary. eibach is great as well.

Do you think that Eibach Springs alone will help, or should I consider Bilsteins? I have a 2003 ML500 with about 16K miles on it.

eibachs alone are fine if looking for a drop and a slightly firmer ride.

W209 - W163
Eibach/Bilstien is a good set up, Eibach drop is slightly lower, H&R's are more sporty if you will, however you wont see much of a difference visually between H&R and Eibach. Anyone have pics of an Eibach drop?
