Maybe AMG and Lorinser should steal a page from RENNTech and completely reengineer the suspension. Hartmut Feyhl's Florida firm dropped the ML60RS a full three inches, added dual-adjustable Koni coil-over shocks, and then shod it with two-piece O-Z Futura lace wheels (9.5 by 20 inches) wrapped with BFGoodrich Comp T/A 295/40ZR-20 tires. Skinned of its roof rack, the lower-than-low ML60RS looks like a Hovercraft.
But, Feyhl explained, because there is so much droop built into the SUV's suspension geometry, once you lower it more than a couple of inches, it's necessary to relocate the upper-control-arm pickup points, which he has done (kids, don't try this at home).
