The suspension of a SLK55 does not match to SLK350.

Why not? It's just a coilover setup, just like changing to H&R coilovers. The fitment has to be the same.

The suspension of the 55 is build for the weight of the 55. A 350 will not work with it. Just the track rods of the 55 you can take and they improve your 350/280.

Wow you're right, I never thought of that. I might need to cut a coil then to make up for the reduced weight.
