Brabus Spring Install
I had the springs installed today. Other than the initial confusion that the front and rear springs look identical, the install went smoothly. The springs feel only slightly firmer than stock, and the drop is negligible to me. The install was done by Xavier's MB independent shop in Newburgh , NY. Very good service at reasonable rates. The springs were purchased from 3 WD, a vendor on this site. In two weeks, I will get the alignment done as per the manufacturer.

Yes, I may. However, I will wait until I have an alignment done and see how the car handles. ( 2 weeks for the springs to settle in as recommended ). There may be some small changes in the stance from it. My mods are now essentially done and I can enjoy the car. Rear spacers are an easy mod which I can do myself. Several choices on Carid.com

Thanks ibanezking. I found a set of spacers for the rear, 17mm by Sparco. I will have them installed at the alignment. I have got to drive it more, since it has barely 1000 miles on her. Got it as a showroom leftover, hence the money saved is for upgrades.
