So I almost bought a used H&R for SLK, but the part number is different

2004 Crossfire 50869
2000 SLK(R170) 29769

Is the Eibach part number for SLK and Crossfire is the same???

 

a little further research, the USA Eibach website stating the same part number for 2004 Crossfire and SLK which is 2552.140

However, on the german eibach website (http://www.eibach.de)
2004 Crossfire
part number: 10-28-009-01-22
front axle load 1000 kg
rear axle load 890 kg

SLK(R170)
SLK 200
part number: 10-25-003-01-22
stamping: EW 2552001 VA
EW 2552002 HA
front axle load 815 kg
rear axle load 810 kg

SLK 200K, 230K, 320
part number: 2552.140
front axle load 845 kg
rear axle load 820 kg


So the quest continues.......

 

for the crossfire owner with eibach spring, do you happend to have the stamping on the springs?

 

You should compare the SLK320, that is the model that the Crossfire most closely matches. The 200's (230) are 4 cylinder engines where the 320 is the V6. I would guess that's why the 200's have a lower load weight, that and perhaps because it's a tad lighter than the Crossfire.

 

I got my Eibachs installed at EUROREV yesterday and they did my ECU ,Very Happy !Saved $$$$$$$$s

 

Dan, is there a way you could see the stamping on the springs?

 

Yes I did see ##ss printed on them .Why ?

 

Like cybergreg said make sure you are cross referencing w/ the 03-04' SLK320 not the 230

 

for anyone that lives in or around the l.a. ventura,o.c riverside,area,you can save alot of time and $$$$$$$$$$ at eurorev. they are very noligable and professional when it comes to euro-cars,ask for vincient or jesse toll free #is 866-7000-rev. i will also post some photos of there shop & cars.they can handle,lowering,ecu-remapping,wheels-tires,window tinting,and a whole lot more.........check them out @www.eurorev.com......

 

This is the Eibach's effect after I install the springs.


Front: #3 spring pads
Rear: #1 springs pads
Eibach SLK320 springs

The installation takes about 6 hours. The front, need to take out the lower control arm. The rear is really fast (about 1.5 hours for both sides).
