Congrats! Welcome to the Kleemann club! You will love the setup, excellent decision! I have the Kleemann LSD and I dont have a problem with it. The Kleemann suspension was too soft for my taste so I ordered KW v.2's. I get them on thursday.

congrats on your purchase. im sure your SLK is gonna be a monster when its all finished. For your suspension you might want to go with The KW V2 Coils if youre thinking about tracking it, because i think that the carlsson will be a little too soft. I would save your money and i wouldent touch the brakes as they are already 6 Piston Calpiers in the front. Id definately spend that money on cams and try and achieve your 500WHP goal Congrats and let us all know how it goes

OJwerks, what's wrong cat got your tongue?!

d23

just curious, how much do they charge you for the whole kleemann kit? I'm planning to upgrade to an slk55 too thanks

Shinigami

By whole kit, you want the other cosmetic changes as well?

I think it was said that you need some $20k (not counting work related pay) to have a 596hp SLK. But Kleemann then says that oughta get the front spoiler for better handling at high speeds, and bigger brakes for better stopping power.

With interior mods as well, you'll be looking at up to 40 or $50k?

Supercharger alone was $12k I think... but I've got my price list at home =\

kleemann brakes burns the wallet.

The rest just burns whats inside

D23, what wheels are on your SLK350? Could you post a bigger pic.. I'm thinking of getting black wheels on mine too.

For the kleemann price list in euros, www.slkworld.com/performance-mods-r171 ,see "my vision of a perfect SLK55" thread, its at the end of the 3rd page. Installed, the komoressor w/ ecu + headers is 20,000$+. Then you need the LSD, which is another 3,500$ installed. When all is said and done, you're looking at a 25,000$+ bill


P.S. Why can't you attach PDF files to posts? Most forums let you do this...

Hello, hope everything is going well with your car, are you going to sell your OEM amg slk55 wheels? If so I'd like to buy them.

Addicted2Speed

I sent you a PM. So far, everything is going according to plan. My car was delivered last week and I'm having a blast with it. If anyone is looking for a shipping company, I've used www.nationalautoshipping.com and they were 100% perfect and by far the cheapest I've found (they are based in FL). My car will be going to C2 Design sometime in May, or in the worst case scenario, early June. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress

Any updates on the Kleemanization process ?

Clk&Slk

So what really happen to your car? Shouldn't be done by now?

Addicted2Speed

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Unfortunately, the process was slightly pushed back to July instead of May, as originally planned. If all goes well, I should be picking it up next week and will definitely make a lenghty update. Here are some pics for now:

Killer... I wouldn't get the carbon fiber top right away though, enjoy the hardtop convertible for a while.

I would love to have a Kleemann SLK55. The SLK55 has a higher compression ratio than my car. I believe its 11:1 so you get that little bit more power out of it. You will LOVE it, trust me

IIIMBPIII

Cant wait to hear all about it when its completed... I too am looking to do pretty much what your doing when im back from NYC

Addicted2Speed

Looks like everything is pretty much done, I'm picking the car up this friday. One more thing though, the shop that's doing my car has a brand new carlsson suspension in stock that they are willing to sell at a discount. However, they are unsure if it will fit my car since its about 1 inch lower than stock. My car has 19'' wheels and 235 front, 265 rear tires. They tried to fit this suspension to an SLK55 with 20'' wheels and that didn't work at all. What do you guys think?

Acez

19" is the best size for slk. 20" looks ghetto

SLK 55 Kleemann

I added Charger, ECU, Headers and LSD from Kleemann, and will add cams and exhaust soon, I find it hard to believe that you guys over there only pay 25K$ for this mods, I have payed so far almost 30K$ and some other 10K$ for cams and exhaust.
....and 600 hp - no way! my Dyna-test says 513hp and 700 Nm so far and perhaps another 30-40 hp with the other mods - 550 hp and 770 Nm, well se. I add my Dyna:


The car is already crazy, I had a lot of races, SL55 AMG, Porsches, Corvette C6, etc, etc.... and who is the winner?

IIIMBPIII

500hp to the wheel would be very nice! Are you having a hard time with getting traction?

SLK 55 Kleemann

Its almost impossible, I try to turn the ESP off, but if the car moves a bit to left or right it activates, and also shifts gear (I dont think that changing gear manually is an option - to slow), so 0-60 is quite hard, but from 80 - 185, its running like h-ll

IIIMBPIII

God i can only imagine! Have you tryed putting it dyno mode? Correct me if im wrong but i believe that completly take the traction control off.
