Number6

I am receiving my car in approximately 1 week. Anyone have any experience with the option 30 package. How much does it affect performance etc?

Thanks appreciate your help

A quick search will show you what comes with the "030 Performance Package".

i.e. some carbon fiber
top speed limiter set to 280kph rather then 250kph.
different suspensions/rims
etc...

lowered too due to new suspension setup?

Not lowered.....as I posted on another threat about measurements, it seem all SLK 55's have the same height (030 or non-030's)

Number 6:
Performance is supposed to be "better" in terms of handling with the "Nurburgring" suspension and looks with the CF trim, rims etc; not power

IMHO, it's alot of extra $$ for what the "performance" package adds to the standard SLK55.
Since there was no increase in engine power, I was not interested in spending the money for carbon fiber trim, new rims, and a few suspension/braking upgrades.

can we get only the suspension? or we must get the whole thing?

thanx for the info

Can you post a pic of your front brakes?

LETO

i test drove an 06slk55 with 030 on it and ordered mine with everything but 030. I have driven both cars and on everyday roads, i see absolutely no difference. The 030 wheels are better looking (but honestly, for $6K you could do a lot better). The carbon fiber is a bit disappointing except it does replace the nasty e-brake cover.

IMHO, $75K (with 030) is a stretch for the slk55 with no real performance upgrades

Font setup has larger discs and is lighter so, the braking should be something better.

I'm still very interested in pics.

Best Regards.
