Heavier steering?
Is there any way to increase the weight of the steering? It is a bit light for my taste and I was wondering if there was a way to increase the weight.

The SL has a speed related hydraulic pressure in power steering. High speed, low pressure, good whellcontact, Low speed, high pressure, poor whellcontact, but great for parking. ( unless you are the bodybuilder type )
The pressure is controled by the computer in the car, and if you feel that you have to light a wheel at higher speed, maybe your control is not working properly ?
In theory it should be possible to program a lower hydraulic pressure at high speed, to gain heavyer steering, but I am not sure if that is possible to do with the service computer they have in the MB workshop.
Try ask your Lokal MB dealer, but normaly MB is not willing to do such things, as it alters their standart product.
