Do you want to be able to perform on and off road? Or do you lean towards one more?

95% of my running will be "tarmac"

Mainly I want to improve cornering...lower it a bit...reduce body roll...stiffin it up...reduce rebound...a little crisper turn in...etc

I know...I know...it's an SUV...

question is: Brabus; AMG 55 stuff; Carlsson....or ???

I'd prob use H&R springs. They are only for the rear. You need to adjust the torsion bar in the front.

If money isn't a concern, I'd check into the Kleemann Suspension. They design their kits for comfort as well as performance.
