H&R 97-04 Mercedes-Benz SLK R170 Sport Spring

When you're looking to give your 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, SLK32 AMG, or SLK320 a more aggressive stance and better road manners, H&R Sport Springs are a popular choice. This kit includes a set of four springs designed to lower your vehicle's center of gravity. This reduction in height not only improves the look by closing the gap between the tire and fender but also helps reduce body roll during cornering, making the car feel more planted on the road.

These springs are made from 54SiCr6 spring steel, a strong and resilient material that's shot peened for added durability. The progressive spring rate design is key here; it means the springs offer a comfortable ride during normal driving but stiffen up when you need them to during spirited driving or hard cornering. This balance is what makes them H&R's best-selling product, offering a noticeable improvement in handling without sacrificing too much comfort. Being 100% made in Germany, you can expect solid construction.

Installing these springs is a common way to enhance your vehicle's suspension. While they are designed to fit right, remember that lowering springs typically require a wheel alignment after installation to ensure proper tire wear and handling characteristics.
