Hi All
Decided to lower my 2006 SL55 as I felt the ride height was too high
So, I opted for the simple way
lowering links as the car can be easily returned to standard and it's low cost
The instructions recommend an 8mm adjustment on the links but I opted to do just 5mm as this represents a 28mm chassis drop
Well, suspension is definitely lower but I made the schoolboy error of not measuring the original ride height - dooh!
Can any 55 owner with standard ride height measure group to wheel arch for me - front & rear. Thanks if anyone can help
EDIT: If anyone can help - could you measure whilst ABC is in sport
My car is now (in sport) Front 655mm from floor to wheel arch and rear is 675mm
