Yes it is... The only things that changed are some components of the chassis between the SLK320 / Crossfire Limited & the SRT6 / SLK32... shocks, springs, sway bars, etc... the entire chassis is the same between the SLK320, SLK32, Crossfire Limited, SRT6... To take it one step further, the short block of the engine (M112) is the same as well, minus some internal components.
There are some differences in the drive lines and auto tranny though... There are two versions listed for the Crossfire and SLK's and I'm not sure what they are... but only one manual tranny that is the same between the SLK320 and the Crossfire.
PS: I apologize to dynamicS for being a *****... but I was trying to tell him the straight scoop on the brakes and he wouldn't listen... Sometimes you gotta get slapped to wake-up out of a coma...
