R230 ABC System Compatibility Inquiries

R230 SL55 and R230 SL63
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.

No, the suspension struts from the R230 SL55 are not compatible with the R230 SL63 due to differences in the ABC systems. The SL63, starting from 2008, uses an updated ABC+ system, making the struts incompatible with the earlier SL55 model.
