So I've got a 97 SL320 which has been in the family 20 years. Handed down to me by my Granddad. First thing I did when I got it was install Silver Arrow Alberio wheels with P Zero tyres and some 30mm AP springs. But, the car doesn't really feel planted at all. 'Sports Lightweight', not even close. I love the power delivery and how smooth it is but, the handling is piss poor.
Has anyone done any suspension upgrades on their R129 in terms of shocks & springs/coilovers, anti-roll bars, polybushing, adjustable arms etc..? I'm looking to go down the fast road spec setup.
Please don't give me the whole, leave the car standard they've been engineering this way and that, because a car can always be made better and this has been proven time and time again.
I will also be changing the wheels for a wider specification, forged single piece wheel.
All input will be greatly appreciated.
