I believe the Brabus Springs lowers the car about an inch in the rear, maybe a half inch up front. Not really 100% sure, YNOT has Brabus Springs, maybe he knows exactly. But, whatever it is, it makes a world of difference in the aggressive look department. It changes the whole stance of the car, especially with the 19" wheels. The springs are surprisingly similar to stock in behavior and ride comfort. I sense they are a bit stiffer, adding a more sporty feel, especially with the stock suspension. As I said before, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the ride still is with 19" wheels with rubber band sidewalls and stiffer springs. Really not incredibly different from stock. Maybe a little harder, but nothing readily noticeable. The only comment I can say is that with the new set-up, I can sense the body roll in the standard suspension more. It's no different than before, but with the slightly stiffer set-up, it feels like the body roll should be tighter too.
