Most of the guys here have used H&R springs. I think the drop is less than 2 inches. When I switched out the shocks, I considered H&R, but decided to pass on that for now.

Yes, Koni makes a coilover. Check <a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=26&article_id=3579&page_num ber=1" target=new>this</a> review of "SuperTuner" MLs out. Notice RennTech's approach on page 3 of the article - 3 inch drop with Koni Coilovers. Also notice that they relocated the pickup point for the upper control arms - not really DIY stuff. FastRobert also has a very good thread about suspension geometry re: H&R springs, anti roll bars, etc. - do a search for it.

Good Luck!

re: Lower Ride? - - My 55 is 1/2-inch lower than my 430 and stiffer. Great traction!

Of course, it is a lot more rough on bumps, but really flat at speed and corners.

Enjoy! - - - <b><font color=#831525>Jüri</font></b>.
