Anyone with Brabus Springs...
knows how much it's lowered in the front and rear? I can't find this info anywhere. I'm looking to lower my SLK, I don't like how it looks it the rear. H&R front springs are too low, I'm looking for 1" drop in the rear and 1/2 inch drop in the front.
I post the same question at the other benz forum but didn't get a reply I was looking for, I know the people on this forum is a little younger and more into modding their cars. People with other springs can chime in to, I know intrax, carlsson, brabus (I believe eibach makes their springs but Brabus tag on another $100 bucks b/c of their name brand), and eibach is available only in Europe. So if any body has these springs, please post you comments. Also for those who have H&R, is it too low? thanks.

Ynot, I posted some pics of my SLK 350 w/ the Brabus springs. The ride is just the same as if it were on the stock springs. I also did not want to go too low, so I opted for the Brabus. I've seen the H and R's and I think it gives the SLK an aggressive stance, but thought it was a bit much for daily driving.

Here's a few pics of my car that I post on the other forum, this is from the first day that I pickup the car last week. It's a little different now, the antenna is shorter, aerowings installed, and 15% tint now. I thought I'll post some pics here as not all members visits the other forum.

Ynot, congrats on an awesome car. I too have the Ash interior, but with the Alabaster White exterior. I thought the interior would be hard to keep clean, but after owning it for 6 months it still looks just like new! I would be curious to see what the shortened antenna looks like. Also, does the AMG Sports Trim come with the rear valance?
