Is SUSPENSION STRUT compatible?
I heard that the model changed to ABC+ from R230 SL63 in 2008
It would've been a new improvement
Can I use SL55 SUSPENSION STRUT for SL63
I'm asking because I can't find compatibility for the two models anywhere

There are four different ABC struts for each corner. ABC1 (2003-2006) & ABC2 (2007-2012) in AMG and non-AMG versions. A strut from a 2007+ SL55 is correct for an SL63.

I also think SL55 ABC suspension struts
Even if it fits SL63, it's just the same shape
I don't think it's suitable for an improved system.
For the right use, it should be used exclusively for SL63 after 2008, right?

For the US, the ABC changes were for the 2007 model year, not the facelift year (2009). Other countries will have different model designations, but all would have converted around the same time. There is only one ABC2 AMG strut and it was used on the last couple of years of SL55's and all SL63 since they would have all been ABC2.

Thank you for your kind explanation.
For example, if you're using Arnott's company or a third-party product
Should I get it for SL63 only?

Not sure what you are asking, but if you are buying a rebuild, get the one cataloged for your car. If you are looking for a used one, the interchange is any 2007+ AMG (SL55, SL63, SL65).
