I would check on the Renntech one. Its listed on his web page for sale. I feel that if they are posting it will be the real deal. Im not sure where he is getting $40K in parts. I looked it up the other day and it has more like $25K in renntech stuff. However im sure what they charge for labor. Also the renntech one has the orc winch bumper and winch. That right there is close to $4k. As for the brakes i feel its a must, my G does NOT stop very good even with new pads and rotors. On the down side with the big brakes you will always have to run 18 inch wheels.

Also if you do decide to get a 02+ you could probably do a 03 G55 then a blower. Have a warranty and help if and when it does have a problem. a 03 G55 has 350hp and 390 tq i think. www.myhps.com did a blower from a guy and they said its about 150hp and tq extra. That should put you around 500hp and 540 lbtq.
Kleeman, Brabus, and RennTech are all very good. I would do a lot of homework before trying out HPS. There are a lot of posts on Benzworld and MB W o r l d . o r g that are less than satisfactory.
