| It depends on what type of ride you want, Brabus lowers an inch with OEM ride, H&R lowers 1.2" and has a little stiffer ride, I have Brabus, if I can do it again, I would go with H&R for a sportier feel. |

| It looks nice, I like the black on black look, need to be lower an inch, your rotors and brakes looks small with 20"s, might need to upgrade that too. The wheels doesn't look as big as I thought. |
