    Seen a Brabus B11

    So, driving down the A23 this morning and to my surprise another Brabus B11 R230 come flying past me! It was gold and also showed a B11 decal on the rear BUT, I don't think it was a real one! It was just not right! The bodykit, the sound and one pipe exhausts! Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK

    SL R230 Brabus Spotlights.

    Happy Easter! After reading all your comments about making my car louder, I would like to clarify. My pride and joy is a weekend day car, I don't drive at night and do respect the neighbours! After hearing my car (for the first time) from behind travelling at speed, it is loud enough, great...

    Not as loud!

    Hi people. After having the post cats and centre silencers deleted off my Brabus it sounded absolutely awesome! Growling and thundering, that just left the pre cats and the rear boxes to the exhaust system. I've noticed after 1500 miles, the sound has somewhat gone quiet! no more growling or...

    Tyres.

    Hello everyone. Advice is needed! I have 305/25/20 rears and 255/30/20 fronts on my MB Brabus SL R230. Can I use 305/30/20s rear? Ok it's a taller sidewall but I just want to check if by using a 30 wall instead of a 25 will be alright? I've been given a brand new set of 305/30/20s.

    Changing tandem pump to a single pump.

    Hello all. I'm taking out all the ABC components and replacing with a coilovers conversion. So all out, blocks, hydraulics, hoses the lot! I'm replacing with a SL350 suspension with sway bars included. Basically my SL500 B11 Brabus will have the same suspension as a SL350. We've worked out the...

    Thinking of selling my SL R230 Brabus B11.

    What do I ask for it? 2004 82000 miles. P/S/H maintained and full documentation from day one (of me owning it) had trouble with the ABC sagging an issue but not whilst mobile. Full Brabus kit. Sounds amazing with 20 inch Brabus wheels. I know what I paid and how much I spent on it, I know it's...

    Would you do this?

    Just want to put it out there. There's sooooo many arguments and deliberations about ABC what to and how to blah blah blah! Change this do that blah blah and if your Indy can't do it then be prepared to spend £££££s at MB! So, my SL R230 Brabus B11s suspension is going to be redesigned to...

    HI. I'm in the process of changing this worn out ABC suspension to a SL suspension. It's the same as a SL350 but there's 5 important things to complete must be done. 1. Front torsion bar 2. Rear torsion bar 3. Replace tandem pump to a single pump 4. ABC delete and data card. 5. 20 hours labour.
