SLK55 amg.
Hi, might be in the market for a SLK 55 amg (r172) and have seen that an option was to have stiffer suspension with a p30 option. Any one who has tried both care to attempt to explain how much stiffer it is? I like to think the SLK was a smallish GT with grunt rather than an out and out sports car and I’d like not to have to worry about every pot hole.
Thanks.
 
How about those with a normal SLK55 amg chip in and try and describe how firm the ride is? Then I might be able to use my imagination for the p30 option.
 
Whilst I’m sure the good folks here would be more than willing to help; for SLK specific questions and issues I suggest dropping into Mercedes SLK World

Many thanks, I am on there too but I thought maybe a UK based forum might be more relevant with out roads etc. And to tell the truth I’m trying to up my posting count so I can respond to for sale adds etc. :)

No worries. There’s quite a strong UK contingent on the SLKworld forum, which was founded by a guy called ’Woolly’ (sadly no longer with us ☹️) who was UK based.

As for this forum; like others, there is so much more to it than the For Sale adds.

I hope you find what you‘re looking for.

Thanks again, I have joined both forums recently and am working my way through the SLK r172 and AMG sections. I find it best to do as much research as possible before any potential purchase. I think the only way to find out if a car suits though is to go and try them. The problem being that lockdown hasn’t really helped.
