I guess they did start selling Eibach in the U.S.

But seriously, algrensan, Brabus = Eibach + $150. Maybe Eibach has new U.S. spec springs that are different from Brabus, Me and ynot have had our SLK's for 2 years and have been pretty up-to-date on suspension mods.

What are you looking for really? As long as you are going with a reputable company that specializes in springs (H&R, Eibach, etc), then you really can't go wrong. There's been countless testimonials from people who have installed H&R (cyberdrakon), Brabus/Eibach (ynot), among others. I don't understand this obsession with Brabus. I just think their stuff is overpriced fluff.
