hi to all ive a slk 230 with 18inch wheels,the suspenion was dropped by the previous owner (too low)where is the best place to buy a standard set of springs and shocks the last owner had been juped into thinking he had bought adjustable suspension,with this in mind i thought i would lift her up a bit just to make it abit easier on the ride, u guessed it no adjustable suspension cheers

Firstly, check which spring pads you are running. You may find you can raise it enough very cheaply without getting replacement springs.

Your best bet to improve the ride would be the standard MB springs and shocks for the model. The springs will be rated according to a points system which takes into account any extra equipment/engine size you have on the car. You can also improve the ride characteristics by getting smaller diameter wheels coupled with higher aspect ratio tyres.
