Any SLK350/280 owners want to upgrade to 55 AMG suspension?! Selling mine cheap!!
I'm selling my SLK55 suspension from a 2006 car with 6,000 miles. It is basically in like-new condition. If you want to lower your SLK and improve handling, while eliminating body roll, this is a must have upgrade! I'm asking only $850!
P.S. Local pick-up in south FL (Miami) preferred.

I have carlsson/bilstein suspension on right now, its slightly lower and stiffer. As far as buying this suspension for $300, that does not sound realistic to me. That's usually how much just the lowering springs cost. I can lower my price to $750.. which is about as low as I'm willing to go. If you buy from dealer it will probably cost you well over $2,000 and you're very unlikely to come across one for sale on ebay since very few 55 owners change their stock suspension...

Yeah guys, 750-800 is about right for that kind of setup. I got lucky and found a set on eBay from a reputable (4000+ feedback) Mercedes parts dealer selling the SLK55 suspension (2 spring/shocks for the rear and 2 coilovers for the front, and both sway bars) from a 5k mile 2005 SLK55 for $300 ($420 shipped) so I jumped on it.
One word of advice though. If you're looking to do this upgrade, you might want to consider lowering springs. Because of the way the SLK55 setup was designed (with the heavier 55 engine in mind), the front sits about .5" higher on 280/350 setups than the rear.
