Please share how you lowered the car. Who manufactured the parts and from where did you purchase them? I autocrossed my R500 last summer and am looking to lower it to improve handling.

Are you happy with this installation? I have the lowering done by my mecanic with adjusting the original arms, and it's quite difficult to get it right. Considering bying this kit if it makes the adjusting more easy....

Ha... time flies..... since I was the first person reply back to this post.

If I remember correctly, it was using the original bumper. Unlike the Mercedes OEM lower lip (two pieces), it is all one piece to glue onto the car. Pretty pricey back in the days and should be around $600-$800.

Brabus bumper parts only fit non AMG bumpers. So for the USA that means 06/07 R Class without sport package/ non AMG vehicles.
