SL500 vs SL55 Height

Does anyone know if the SL55 rides lower than the SL500?

Also, what are currently the best options for lowering an SL55?

Thanks!

Yes, all AMG models ride slightly lower (I think 10mm) than their Mercedes stablemates....


Options for lowering? Don't really know, but you coul try tuners...Brabus renntech etc. or someone once said they lowered it through the netstar? system from the dealer?

Star Diagnostics, but you have to have a nice dealer.

The best way is the Kleemann speed sensitive lowering system.

I saw my first SL55 this morning, there are only two SL's in my town and then I saw this one, he probably was on his way down to the marina to get a slip or something. Right now thats what everybody is doing so I assume he is doing the same.

Brabus also has a lowering module for the sl500. It runs just under $1700 US.

Check it out, Harris from Hartonmotorwerks.com could give ou some insight on it.
