SLK 55 suspension vs. SLK 350
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much stiffer will the SLK 55 suspension be in comparison to the SLK 350 with sport suspension? I recently test drove a SLK 350 with the sport suspension and found it to be just about right in terms of the firmness of the ride. The roads in my area (Bay Area) are not really ideal and there is alot of washboard type of concrete sections on freeways which create a rather rough ride in cars with too stiff suspensions.
I sure would be interested in the SLK 55 but I'm concerned about the increased stiffness. Does anyone have an idea of how much stiffer it will be? I currently have a '02 E55 and that suspension tends to be quite stiff for the roads in this area.
Thanks in advance for any information.

I just asked the same question a few days ago to a mechanic who works in MB, he says AMG suspension always will be stiffer, even if other MB cars has th sport suspension! it aint the same,But dont worry it aint a problem at all!
