Exclamation Suspension ?

I have heard that H&R Coilovers(PSS9) are universal, does anyone know if they have a setup for the SLK32's. Or does anyone have this setup or know of any other really good setup?

Thanks...

I just checked the 06 H&R application guide and I dont see a coilover kit available for the SLK32. However H&R does offer springs for the car, if you're interested in a set or have any other questions; please feel free to either pm or contact me directly.

I currently have Renntech springs on the car, but the performance is not like I thought. Also it sits wierd the rear of the car sits high and the front is low. I want a better suspension kit...

The way the car sits is most likely due to the spring pads not the springs.

I have RENNtech springs and they are a great compromise between ride quality & handling for most people. Although personally I would prefer anothe 30% or so in the spring rates but that would require a change of shocks to Koni. Not a bad thing just means an added expense.

I just ordered 5mm pads. They were originally 9mm I believe, hopefully this will lower the car a bit in the rear...
