Make sure you get your wheel alignment checked after you have the coilovers fitter.
Also I would advise initially setting up the ride height about half to three quarters of an inch higher than your target height as it will slowly settle over the first week or so until it reaches its natural compression point.
Make sure to plan on putting in NEW motor mounts and also we ended up putting in an oil pan from a SL500 to give more clearance for the front sway bar.

having the same issue with motor mounts, mine are pretty worn out. Congrats on installing the kit. Please share your thoughts about the ride quality.
So i am going to buy SL350 ones .. thanks for reply .
We do still sell the bars separately, we were planning not to, but in the interest of providing a proper solution, even if customers don't wish to buy our whole kit, they are available for $1299 including all links, brackets, bushings and balljoints (all purely R230 specific parts and difficult to source). I will have them added to our site!

Sean, this thread is very confusing to follow. What modifications have to be done to install this kit?
New to this forum but have read up on a lot of post. I picked up a 2003 SL500 last year in October and started putting money into it. I recently ran into a lot of ABC issues so decided to research coil over conversion kits. Came across VVK-USA with the sway bars, links, and coils which was a pretty good deal. I placed an order on November 13, 2017 but no updates on my shipping yet. From reading others posts it seems like it takes about a month to get the kit from VVK. I sent an email and text to Sean but no response yet. I'll keep waiting but getting anxious to get this suspension installed since my ABC pump sounds like its on its last leg.
Zebra.......any clearance issues? Tire rubbing? Sway bar striking road imperfection's, etc? How does the car handle? I would be keen to trade in my RMT kit if this performs as good as it looks....

Car is not ready yet. As soon as it be ready I post a review.
Great video.....glad to hear there is another coil over option out there with BC.
What is the status on the SL600/65 sway bars? Last we heard new engine mounts were going in and the car would be on the road soon. That was two months ago.

Inquiring minds want to know.....
Sean texted me yesterday and told me that the car should be ready this week.
Hi, Zebra555. Please keep us posted. I'm anxiously awaiting a good front sway bar for the V12. If your works, let us know cause I'm just waiting for an owner to say that VVK's finally got it done after 3 years.
