looking for lowering springs for the SL500

Anyone in here sell them and if so what brand are they? How much do they lower the car? I want to the the car lowered as much as possible, but not too crazy. I think the SLs have a bit of a high stance.

I don't have one yet, but it will be 2003 or 2004 that I will get in the next 3 weeks. I am trying to figure out what the main difference is between the two. But like I said, I will be pulling the trigger on one soon. Just want to get the major mods done when I have it.

By the way, what kind of wheels are those in your signature? I am interested in something like that.

Our SL's dont have Springs...they are airbags on the cars. If you want to lower it you can either go with a Computer device which you will need to get installed by cutting and splicing or you can go with a link style device which you can use to lower your car. Hope this helps.

What major mods do you plan for the car? Performance mods or cosmectics?

You have three choices

a) Links: www.adjustableairride.com

b) STAR DIAG

c) ELM
