I never liked renntech. I think carlsson, MKB and brabus do better engine tuning then renntech. I even though kleemann is better then renntech.

Sad there ain't no MKB in states.

So far I think brabus for engine is DA ****.

So, you have owned amany RENNtech, Carlsson, MKB and Brabus? Glad you have a preference. I know Jeff, he is a friend of mine, I have driven his RENNtech SL, and your car, sir, is no RENNtech AMG. (A little help from Lloyd Bentsen, for you younger fellows)

All tuners are out to take your money, remember that first. Then decide who you hate the least.

Actually I am, but it's a computing for engineers class.
I know this stuff like the back of my hand
Can't wait for next semester, I'm doubling on Eco and Indus. Engr.
If I decide to take summer school as well, I'm adding Creative English.

What are you going to school for?

I'm in a PowerPoint class. Paid for by my employer. I have to attend some kind of training every year and there wasn't anything that I was interested in, so I picked this. I know just about everything that has been presented so far, so I know where you are coming from.

lowering module

Hi Idrivatitliest. I have ordered the same car as your beautiful 55, only in a different color. I am curious to know what the lowering module does over the stock 55's lowering ability. Also is there one mod that clearly gives the most bang for the buck? And do these aftermarket mods adversely affect your warranty? Thanks.
