Lowering Springs
Hi
I’m considering lowering my ML 320 CDI, does anyone here have any experience? How is the handling / comfort afterwards? I have looked at the H&R springs, they seem to be ok. Any input will be appreciated. I don’t have the Airmatic package.
Best regards
Shah

A lot has happened in the recent two days:
Bought the cargo compartment cover (rollo), price app. €180, it looks and works great.
Got the command nav dvd v.6.1 for free and without any fuss.
Lock on the boot suddenly broke and I was not able to close the boot properly, so it popped wide open on the motorway! Took it to the dealer and they put tape on temporarily until new lock arrives.
Outside the garage was a brand new ML in silver, could not help notice that the side skirts and bumper bottom was also coloured in silver, is that standard now? Also the fog lights look different. See pictures enclosed below:

Whoa, those fog lights don't look like stock at all. Also notice, that the car does not have any badgering on it?
But my guess is that its' an ML500 (Chrome Exhaust tips), but it doesnt look stock either....

I think the chrome exhaust tips are standard with the sportspackage (I have the same on mine). Foglights looks like the ones on Brabus' hompage. But I still don't understand how the side skirts, bumper bottom and bumber air intake can be coloured silver from factory, as it appears 
Has all this been added by the dealer?

Thanks! Brabus springs sounds like a good option. Why does it take 5 hours to change these springs?

The ML is a sophisticated vehicle being a unibody construction. The springs are not a straight swap. There were things the technician had to undo first (don't know exactly what), but I'm sure it was necessary. He also had to break for lunch which added 1 hour to the total time. Put it this way, I didn't want to rush him as I wanted him to do it right. The only one I trusted installing it is a Brabus technician or someone that's done it before.
