Now it looks right
When we got our new SL, the thing just looked too tall and planned to lower it. I was so used to either Airmatic or ABC that I couldn't have imagined for the SL to come with springs, so lowering the cars was a bit more involved than just a lowering module or lowering links.
Finally got around to getting the H&R Sport springs installed and i like the results
Here are some before and after pics...

SL
Any noticeable difference in ride quality? Thinking of doing BRABUS SL550 Lowering Springs myself but being on a lease I don't want to go through the process of installing the stock springs at turn in.
Might just live with it as is until my lease ends and make sure I get ABC next time.

It looks good. How much lower is it?
When I got the car I thought it needed three (3) things. Lowered, 20" wheels in place of the 19" and a lip spoiler. So far I've only done the lip spoiler and that seems to make the back go more with the rest of the car. The other two (2) will probably get done this year.
I agree.
