I'm not 100% on it, but I'd say RennTech surpasses Brabus on the 65 upgrades.

RENNtech is not "Cheap" I would say they are equal to if not more favorable by some people more then Brabus.

I personally prefer RENNtech over Brabus, but hey, what the heck, I sell both

RENNtech has some fricken amazing stuff for the 65 engines.

not that this relates directly to the awesome SL65, but when I did my research on an ECU upgrade for my CDI, I found RennTech to be the better of the two.. Brabus was $2000 more, and provided a bit more power, but I think it was also unrealistic, and possibly too much boost to protect the engine from long term wear.

SL65, 911
It's most certainly not my car. I have a silver arrow, and I'll sell it when something even more powerful / lighter gets released by Mercedes.

... and then, of course, I'll RENNtech *that*

well brabus = bling bling for people who want to be posers and RENNtech = Performance for those who want to enjoy a performance tuned vehicle.

Your choice....

Any tuner selling 20 inch wheels that dent on a man hole cover (Brabus) is not worth a grain of salt. Never will bother with them again. Heck their best sales people in the USA dont even know the thickness of their sway-bar kits, spring rates, wheel off-sets... He told me to call their special tech person in Europe for these questions. Im sorry if you dont know what you sell get out of the business. 10 Years with brabus and he knew nothing? Ya great tuner! Where do I sign up?

Call and ask RENNtech a question and I bet they will know the answer...if they dont know the answer they will get you an answer in a mater of hours or put you on the phone with Mr. Feyhl. The two companies are not on the same page.

But Brabus wheels do look nice....
