Lowering an SL55 R230
Hi Guys
What are the best solutions for lowering the SL55 2004? Does anyone do a coilover kit for it with an elimation module for the hydraulic suspension? I know a bunch of tuners sell lowering modules as well. Your thoughts please. Cheers.

The best? Lowering Module $800.00 and up
The good? Adjustable Lowering Links $250.00
The also good? Lowered via Star Diagnostic System $ Depends on who does it... but figure $200 or so...2004 E500 - Eurocharged ECU, VRP headers and E55 exhaust. #1 record holder on dragtimes ([email protected])
2005 SL600 - OE Tuning ECU/ Speedriven TCU - #1 record holder on dragtimes (11.02@126)

The RENNtech ELM is the industry standard. PM user emoving on here, he may have 1 or 2 available. Originally Posted by 0-60Motorsports

All you need is the ELM. The links are not necessary with the ELM. The ELM is the most convenient and least amount of work. It also comes with a remote so the car can be raised and lowered as you are driving down the street at any speed.
