You will like sports susp. My buddy bought an 05 ML when I got my first Premium model 5 years ago. He drove my new 04 Sport susp model last night and really liked and preferred the my ML Euro Sport to his ML. Just handles better with the sport and we both agreed the sport should be the base suspension as there is little given up for the better handling.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I am loving her so far. By far the best choice I could have ever made like I said. This is 1000x better than the GS. A little info on her since everyone is asking..

It's an 04 2 previous owner car. No the 90k has not been done, but that's fine as I have a friend who works at Sewell Lexus and he will do the 90k for me for about $350 parts + labor, but I am going to have him do a full inspection on the car when we get the chance to get together. More than likely I will go ahead and have him replace spark plugs and probably do some drain/fills on fluids etc.. Will just make me feel better is all at that point but yeah.

So far I got the car tinted with 35% 3M tint and replaced door speakers with Polk Audio 6 1/2" Coax and a JL Audio WX 12" sub in the trunk with a standalone amp to power it. Taking the car to a personal friend on friday for him to look into doing a custom enclosure for the audio and still leave room for my air setup in the future. Everything will be closed off and I plan to keep the trunk OEM looking. I daily my car and having all that flashy stuff taking up space and such just isn't realistic for me. He will also be installing interior LED's prolly too if I don't get a reply soon from LuxuryMods and do it myself, haha. I'll be keeping it clean for a while, maybe pay off the car quickly and start ordering parts near the end of the year.

Haha my man, you know I really did want that kit, but only if I got the same paint code. It'll be a while before I go blowing money on major mods anyway. I'm really loving the stock ride and just driving the car. I'd like to enjoy it for a bit before I hop into the modifications again, haha. I got plenty of that with the GS.
