No, it's not lowered. The P030 is about a .5" lower than the standard SLK55 though. My 19" tires are about .5" taller than my 18" tires, so the ride height is slightly higher.

Thanks for the infos. That's good to know. Only .5" different, I think I'll put 19" on and stick with stock supsension because of the performance package.

Man......I'm take back everything I said about the stock wheel. I just pick up 09" Slk55 w'AMG performances package" and the wheel look beautifull in person on the car. Seriously, I don't want to change the wheel now at all. You're absolutely right, they're so masculine looking on the Slk55. I a bit surprised how stiff the ride with even 18" wheel. I can't imagine how bad the ride will be with 19".

Yes, the 19" wheels create a stiffer ride which makes it handle better in the turns.
