SLK 280 vs. SLK 55 AMG - Suspension setup

**B4TM4N** · 11-12-2007

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the differences are between the two. Sway/struts? Springs/shocks?

Just wanna know what I could do to improve and possibly source them from people who've dropped OEM 55 parts.

Thx!

I'm selling my SLK55 suspension as well, 600$.

How much is the drop compared to the standard 280/350 setup?

Noticable, but not much. The 55 weighs a little more, so the springs won't be compressed as much either.
