Yes, unless you buy them used.

Before you buy, do a search of this and other forums. Without exception, every poster who has installed aftermarket springs has regretted it.

I have searched the forum and the Brabus springs seem to be liked by all. I'm not looking to modify the ride much, but I need to lower it. If not, I'll have to get something closer to the ground like the GLK. I really like my ML320 and don't want to sell it.

My daily driver (see avitar) has 600 lbs springs in the front, so I used to a firm ride, I just have to keep it comfortable for highway trips.

I think the important thing to remember when changing the springs is to do a complete re-alignment... The lowered stance probably causes the wheels to push against each other with the stock alignment, causing the lateral hopping people seem to be experiencing...
