R230 SL65 AMG
Air suspension
Has anyone tried converting the ABC to an airride suspension? Something along the lines of this:
I would love to do something similar to my SL65 but haven't found a kit yet. It might have to be a custom build but is it even possible with our cars not having sway bars and all?

Damn nice car man, i don't think anyone has ever gone air from ABC. ABC is superior, when it craps out we just switch to coilovers. I like ABC and i plan on rebuilding it to keep it working. Anymore pics of the ride? Love that color combo.

I don’t mind the ABC either but I don’t think it’s superior to an air suspension like the one above. You can have a very low ride height while maintaining good suspension properties, something you can’t with ABC (rides like **** when slammed).

THere's a Matt Farrar One Take video where he drives a CL55 AMG with custom bagged suspension. It was expensive and a one-off - prob over $2k for parts alone. I think the guy said he had almost 10k into it.
