I spoke with Anthony about 5:00pm PST today (Monday 2/4/08). He was / is concerned about the 2" - 3" drop issue mentioned above. He thought it might have been due to the Mercedes SLK having an inline 4 and not the heavier V-6.

Apparently the springs are OEM Eibachs. So I looked up the springs for the 96-04 SLK's on the Eibach site. Eibach lists the same springs for all three of the SLK models and the Crossfire as well, including the MB model with the same V-6 engine the Crossfire has. Since various members have reported using the Eibach's with no real problems, I'm thinking that we may be just fine.

Anthony did mention that it had been several years since his shop had tried them on a Crossfire, and he thought it was with 19" and 20" wheels (maybe the Brabus wheels?). Anyway, as long as Eibach didn't make a custom made set of springs for Brabus, or somehow size them differently, it seems like we may be OK.

Based on that, Anthony is shipping me a full set (shocks and springs) tomorrow - Tuesday. I'll get them installed and report back - hopefully by Friday.
