|  Sports suspension Just wondered if anyone could comment as to how different the ride feels with the sports suspension offered in the sports pack? Last edited by arosamond; 08-13-2008 at 07:12 PM. Reason: typo |

| Hi my 5 month old SLK200 came with the sports suspension. It is a bit too hard and bouny for me as I live in rural West Wales, lots of lanes with not very good road surface. Personally the standard suspension SLKs's 200 I tried at dealers seemed to ride much better and handle well. Hope that helps? Mike |

| if you like to feel the road it's great but don't expect a smooth ride at slow speeds. If I'm driving around town on bad roads I let 3lb out of the tires, gives a better ride. 30 front 32 back. I have done 11K miles and can confirm only a little extra wear in the outside rim doing this, virtually negligible. But for fast driving straight roads I would not want the standard suspension. |
