Need Suggestions On Suspension!!!!
Hey guys, little update on what I have been working on:
"Currently in my garage" to be installed asap.....:
H&R Sport Springs
KONI Yellow shocks (front & rear)
#1 and #2 rear springs pads.
Eibach sway-bar kit is to come real soon!
18x9.5 / 8.5 Brabus replicas
235/40 & 265/35 Falken ST115 tires.......
All this will be done as soon as I replace my broken idler arm in my front end which is driving me nuts.......
My question is, apart from the obvious improved handling of the car....how much does the "quality" of the ride change with the h&r springs AND koni shocks change????
Ive ridden un NUMEROUS cars with suspension upgrades, but never in an SLK. Thanks in advance!!

I have same wheels and Konis. My springs are standard. Rear tyres are 255, front 225
I had 17x8's before. There is a difference but not detrimental. More tramlining from front, a little bit more thumpy on drains etc.
