Thanks for the info.

The suspension is the same. All the R230's (except SL350 I think) have the ABC standard. The SL55 has some different parameters from what I've read about comparing the CL500 / CL600 to the CL55.
I assume it'd be the same wit the R230.
The rims are 18" in the sport package, I'm not sure what the width is.
The body kit should look the same as the SL55. Not the SL55 with 030 however.

Ricky, do you think the exhaust might be slightly different too? It seems the SL500 sport packages I have heard can sound pretty nice at lower RPM's....almost XLR'ish....while the regular SL500 doesn't sound that way?

The 07 SL550 sport package also comes with steering wheel paddle shifters. I don't think the previous models(03-06) had that available.

I don't think there is any performance advantage with the SL55 quad tip exhaust but they definitely look nicer! You have to get the rear bumper from an SL55 as the sport pkg version isn't wide enough and will not work.

Yeah it does look nicer than the stock SL500 ones but if it doesnt do much improvement I dont know if its worth it. Im sure people with that exhaust are selling them for alot considering Im sure theres more people who want to do it. If Im going to spend the money Im better off buying an aftermarket system. Im guessing. Plus if I have to replace the rear bumper its going to add in pricing.

wheel/rim size
The one Im looking at is a 2003 SL500 with sport package. I just wanted to confirm what it is. So is the suspension different than the regular SL500 non sport? And what size rims should be on the car? 18" wheels? They are chrome but dont know the size on them. What type of wheels should they be? And so the body kit is different too than?
Thanks for the info.
