Best Shocks (sport)?

[sonny]

I currently own a '04 sc430 and a Mercedes 04' SL 500. I love both cars I think that each has its highs and lows.

Anyway one particular aspect of the Mercedes that I LOVE is the active suspension. It is the only reason I prefer to drive my mercedes.

I would like some feedback on how to improve the SC430 suspension by means of shocks / sway bars etc.

I ditched the crappy runflats on the SC and put mich. PS2's 245/40/18 on. If you have not yet parted with your runflats I suggest you do so and slap on the PS2's you will notice an immediate improvement in handeling/comfort/noise.

If you could post specific part numbers of shocks that would be fantastic.

Thanks!

The only shocks worth getting are the Tein CS coilovers

They are expensive however.

The Daizen sway bars are also meant to be good.

Was you going to lower the car as well?

20" rims and a set of Teins would look the dogs danglies :P

Also well worth getting is the Luxlink remote top/starter. Love that thing such a kewl toy :D

really to be honest i'm not looking to make the car more asthetically pleasing. Sure 20in rims might look cool but its just too much for me. I'm perfectly happy with the 18's if i were to do anything i would make the rims wider so i could slap 255/35/18's on. Has anyone here driven a new mercedes SL roadster and know what i'm after? If i can't get the suspension more sport pleasing i guess i'll just continue to drive my mercedes, or just go ahead and upgrade to the SL 65 AMG and be done with it.

Thanks

TBH I dont think whatever you do your going to get an sc to drive comparable to an sl roadster. The sc is really a fat grand tourer.

not looking for the same just better :)

althought from what i have seen i think its just time to ditch the sc and the mercedes sl 500 and just get the mercedes sl 65 amg
