difference between RENNtech, Brabus and Carlsson Lowering Modules ?

I've seen that euroteckmotorsports.com offers these 3 modules :

RENNtech Lowering Module

BRABUS Lowering Module

Carlsson Lowering Module

does anyone know what the differences are ? (except the brands and prices)
What do you people prefer ?

Thanks for any info

Not exactly sure on the differences but as of now Renntech is the people's choice and I know it is cause it's all digital...compared to analog?

I dont know much about Brabus nor do I care to betting that they charge 2k or higher for their unit (not 100% sure) but I had the Carlsson on my CL65 and the unit only lowered the car 30mm. When I started the car and put it in drive the unit would not compensate for the leveling system and would actually raise it. So the car was only lower when parked or off and this defeated the purpose of what I wanted. Plus the 30mm was not enough so I went with the Renntech which is digital and isnt affected by the leveling system of the ABC. Its easy to adjust and has 7 settings for the front (left and right) and rear axle.

I also have the Kleeman on my 55 and while its older its done its job but it is a little more difficult to adjust because of its design.

The Renntech is actually quite reasonable too and that shocked me!! If you are in California (So Cal) hit up James at Creative Autowerks 858 279 8900, I think they have a special right now and he can ship anywhere of course.

What about other kinds?

I'm looking into getting my car lowered at the moment, and I want to know what the best method of doing so is. So far I have three options:

1. STAR - Have a friend lower it at a dealership using STAR Diagnostics. This would be fairly simple and cheap, but ride height is stuck at what you set it to and is obviously not adjustable.

2. ELM - I could opt for a Renntech ELM, but its pricey and is it REALLY ok for the car? How invasive is it electronically?

3. Coilovers - I could go with KW Coilovers, but this is my last choice. I rather work off of the existing suspension, and I dont want too harsh of a ride. I guess these front coilovers are adjustable, but really, I don't want to be messing with springs.

Jangy - I already know your answer haha.

get the renntech. it's digital, the least expensive and you can independently adjust FL, FR and Rear. and yes, it will do ground slamming show car heights.

I have the renntech sitting in my office havent installed it yet. I think from the factory the car sits pretty nice. How much further did you guys go with the adjustments? The front bumper is too low now for my towns parking curbs

Renntech lowering module - The unit looks very nice and I really like that it is digital. I would probably choose this one myself... but, definitely Kleemann, EVOSport and VRUS for everything else
