*** FROM THE POST ON SPEEDRIVEN'S BLOG
Machined from high-quality, lightweight billet aluminum, this fully-adjustable coilover suspension package from Speedriven is designed to be direct replacements for the factory hydraulic suspension system on Mercedes-Benz’ V8 and V12-powered SL roadsters.
While extremely capable, Mercedes’ Active Body Control (ABC) suspension system is heavy, complicated, prone to failure on older cars, and prohibitively expensive to repair. Beyond that, the hydraulic/electronic nature of the factory ABC suspension system makes it almost impossible to “dial-in” the cars’ suspension for track days.
That’s where our coilover suspension system comes in. Developed exclusively for Speedriven by one of the top names in the industry, these coilovers ship pre-set to mimic the factory settings. Once installed, they can be adjusted for your specific application. Taking your car out on a road course? Stiffer springs and a lower ride height will help your SL stay flat in the corners. Taking it out to the drag strip? Choose a set of springs that will help transfer the car’s weight to the rear tires and get the power down.
Whatever you choose to do with your SL, this coilover suspension package means you’ll be able to do it better, and without living under the specter of a huge and unexpected ABC-related repair bill every weekend.
Speedriven’s coilover suspension package is available now for R230 Mercedes-Benz SL550, SL600, SL63 AMG, and SL65 AMG model roadsters equipped with Active Body Control, and is available in select anodized colors (shown in gold, above) for 7500 USD, shipped. Call us at 847.485.8126 or email us using info@speedriven.com for more information.
