My Lowered ML250--Pics

Among my mods nothing has affected my driving pleasure more than my lowering springs. More sporty handling with little effect on ride comfort. Just completed 2,000 mi trip ,including mountains, and would not go back to factory setup unless going off roading or very deep snow conditions. Other benefits are better looking,easier entry/exit,no running boards needed. I can now clean the windshield standing on the ground. Attached are before & after pics.

New wheels are 19". Have 18" oem wheels for sale. If interested PM me
