How is it better and what benefits do you get by lowering the vehicle by 1.4 inches?

well, you certainly get much better looks, more sportier if you have 19" rims of bigger...the new ml has a big gap between the tires and the fender and it looks pretty bad, lowering the car eliminates most of that gap and also it handles better.

RE: Eibach Springs???

What are the differences between them and the Brabus Springs; Cost, Performance? Does Eibach just offer retuned springs or do they also offer the kit including the shocks?

Eibach only offers the four springs.. Eibach is one of the best manufactors of perfomance suspension.. I believe the cost is that much of a difference the Eibach springs run for $350 and barbus for $500.

Brabus specialize in Mercedes only while Eibach cater to other vehicles. I'm not saying there is something wrong with Eibach but my decision was based on the manufacturers expertise on Mercedes vehicles.
