Lowering Springs / Tuning Program (NYC Metro Area - will drive up to 100miles)

Anyone know where to get H&R Springs or Eibach for the SLK? Here in the US? I am looking for 30-35MM drop (1 - 1.2 inches). Anyone know a good shop in the NYC Metro area that will install them?

Also, I know of a few companies that have the ECU tuning for the SLK (claim to get a 25HP and 40FtT increase), but you have to ship the ECU to them, etc.. etc... Anyone know of a good shop in the NYC Metro aread that will do this?

I'll drive to a shop that can perform these services while I wait up to 100 miles (NY, NJ, PA, CT).

THANKS

Hi...I'm in Westchester County and located someone in Tuckahoe NY named:
Ai Design
64 Marbledale rd.
phone: 914 779-9000 Ask for Don.
I don't know if they have what you're specifically looking for, however they are a Brabus dealer(all work done on premises) and a Mercedes dealer. Probably about 25 miles from Nyack.
