Our runaround SL55 has been totally and utterly transformed with the removal of the not so popular and very costly ABC system and tandem pump
We have fitted special Bilsteins and Eibach springs, KMac camber kit, USA uprated swaybar, Quaife diff, various mercedes dealer parts, and finally the coup---------- a full set up by Center Gravity.
The car now handles as if on rails, and is a perfect cruiser or hooligan hot rod if required.
And we can now sell the 4 ABC Shocks ( 1 as new )and ABC tandem pump to offset the cost-----------if anyone requires them please pm me.

Always wondered if that could be done - I hated the ABC on my old R230; an expensive disaster.

COST all in circa £6000, less the sale of the tandem pump and the 4 very expensive shocks.
Car set up from being absolutely appalling to drive to a modern go kart handling machine--- by Center Gravity
We did also fit the K Mac Camber Kit.
Eibach are going to come up with a spring improvement, as the R230 SL350 one that is on car is slightly too low, but the massive weight saving helps enormously
