The ride is TOTALLY PRECISE and she has zero body roll and drives like on rails with the lowered springs.
She is lowered to the point where the tops of the tyres are approx flush with the tops of the arches, and there is suspension movement, OK for UK and USA roads for sure.....
but a week driving in Poland will leave you needing Spinal Traction for months ha ha........

*****If any one is interested in the set of these springs and the shocks that are on her as a complete set of parts..... make me an offer + freight... The vehicle has recently passed an MOT -
(annual UK road inspection from the Ministry of Transport - for you USA guys out there)
And the springs were thoroughly groped and checked by the examiner, as these items are a known failure on Merc SLK's and Crossfires...

I live in the South of England - Dorset, and can freight these in a few weeks when I've changed them.
