Once you have tires that glue you to the road, then work out the suspension bits. Grip and handling are two different things, but starting with the best grip should give you hints in the SLK handling department.

My SLK55 came with Pirelli P-Zerro Rosso, so I've got to run them down before I can give a good review. I've only got 1,400 miles on it so far.
I have Continental ContiSportContact 2s which are plenty sticky, they are a great tire and I can tell that if the car had less body roll they wouldn't break out as easily, so im thinking about getting some eibach or h and r springs, coilovers are way to expensive...
