SLK Sports Suspension Question

Looking at buying a 350 with the AMG body kit, wheels and Sports Suspension. are the springs different with the SLK55 because the 350's ive seen with the Sports Suspension look high at the back, to me it looks like it could do with another 2inches....the front is just right

What do you know Ladies and Gents ?

Cheers
Tim

Given the low cost, I doubt very much that the sports suspension option is the same as the AMG spring and damper setup fitted to the SLK55 AMG. If it were then it would probably be shown as 'AMG sports suspension' in the brochure.

The dealer told me that the spring rates on the sport suspension are a bit softer then the AMG springs. So they are different.

I would think they would be different, if for no other reason that, the V8 weighs more than the six. Probably able to use a "lighter" spring and still get "AMG" like rebound.
