SL55 AMG R230
04 SL55 AMG Did the Coilover Conversion and love it and no more issues!

I also did the Coilover Conversion too for my 04 sl55 amg at Rebuild Master Tech in Florida. They are ex-Mercedes mechanic and know there stuff. They keep your car for about aprox. 3 weeks & drive it make sure everything is ok. I have no issues and definitely no ABC issues too! See link below. There very professional and great remarks from many people too. Anyone who has a SL55 AMG, highly recommend doing the conversion if you will have your car for a long time!

I am here to help people out if they are interested doing the coilover conversion because I know how much its a pain in the *** having the ABC issues on the sl55 amg! I am a proud owner sl55 amg and love the engine! I added an SL65 R230 front bumper (OEM) and SL63 rear bumper (OEM) to make the car even look sharper. Color car - black

See link below if anyone is interested and if you have any technical questions they are very knowledgeable as well too!

Well I'm writing that my car is being converted from the ABC suspension to Coilovers. The suspension of a used NON-ABC SL350 R230.

Monday the car will be done, I can't say that I'm not afraid of the changes that might occur to the driving quality. I'm concerned about the stability of the car, and the danger that those struts will not handle the power of the 55 AMG.

I took the risk to be doing this conversion, knowing that I might regret it. But ABC became tiring with too many failures occurring.

The conversion costed me 800$ + all the ABC parts. Including the installation. I noticed that the new struts have H&R Springs Lowering kit.

On monday, I will get back to you either telling you guys to do this conversion, or never consider it.

Here are the part numbers you might need for the conversion:

2303230800
2303210204
2303230020
2303202111
2303200589
2303200689
2303260900
2303240204
2303260064
2303200511
2113203389
2113230068

I hope this was helpful

Wish me luck.

Mustang handling? Have you ever driven a SL with Silvers Neomax Coilovers?
