ive looked around and other people have taken out the struts and springs and replacing them with traditional ones and closing off the hydraulic system, but its a tough decision to make. i want to keep the car as original as possible and an sls system would be nice if it worked but getting those parts would be SO expensive.

It's a relatively rare Mercedes-Benz, not a Honda Accord.

I hear the most likley culpitr is the accumulators. Totally agree about keeping it stock, its one of the coolest racing features of the car.
