Want to lower the car, please help
#3
Well, if you're just looking to lower the car maybe look into Eibach springs?
But if you want to improve the suspension I believe KW makes their Variant 3 coilovers for the R171. So not only will you be able to lower your car, you'll be able to handle even bettter. Just remember to corner balance your car after break-in of the suspension if you do decide to get them.

I would probably choose the AMG package suspension Nurgbering (bad spelling)
is there a way to get only that option?

Dinko, no longer owns the car, I recall reading that he had Brabus springs but would rub in the rear due to his tires, he sold the springs to dsb I believe, looking back, he did have one of the best looking 55's out there. Those red calipers looks good.

Good memory. Yeah, I think he was one of the first with HRE and they probably got the offset wrong by just a few mm. He never did get it lowered the way he wanted. Of course, all is well now that he has a Gallardo SE.

Yeah Dinko, It looks superb and enjoy it in good health.
ynot, I too would get one in manual rather than e-gear. Nothing can replace the experience of driving a manual car.
