Lowering Modules - which one performs the best?
I Dont want to do star or links so Which lowering module performs the best so far? Kleemann, Renntech, Carlsson, Brabus, etc.? Which one actually works well? I did a search but the results didn't help much.

Pros and cons of each?

I have the Renntech V3 and love it also, up to a 4" drop. Although if I would have to choose again I would get the Renntech V2. Much easier to change settings on the fly with that remote.

Does the Renntech V3 drop lower than the V2? Or is it the same?

V3 goes lower but V2 goes low enough any lower and you will rub.

I'm adding my vote for Renntech v2, with remote. Nothing like dropping an inch or so, if needed, while driving down the road (instead of having to be parked to make adjustments). Very flexible and allows exact settings where you want them. Several of us DIY'ers here have installed them ourselves. It's one of the best mods I've installed on my car.

the msrp of the v2 with remote appears to be around 2K. that's probably 5 or maybe even 10 times the cost of a star lowering. I am having a hard time justifying that price difference.

2K??? Where are you looking? V2 with remote you can pick up for $1200 or close to that. sure, it's still expensive, but you gotta pay to play

i clearly said msrp

$1,200? still a joke. but if you think it's worth it, then i guess it is.
