Anyone replaced the SLS rear suspension? - m1tch - 08-06-2015
Hi all,
I will be looking to remove the SLS rear suspension in my W210 wagon, I unfortunately can't just replace the rear shocks with normal ones as the mountings are different it seems. Has anyone on here replaced the rear SLS suspension at all - I think I have seen a few kits to change them over but I am guessing a simple plate welded in at the top might just be the easier option!

I know its popular to do that with the 190 2.3-16. They use E500 springs IIRC. Not too sure on a w210

Thanks, I will see what they do, I have seen a conversion kit which seems to just have a washer/mount for the top of the sedan shocks, I will be stripping out some of the car for weight saving soon so will check to see how the top of the standard shocks are attached.

Yes, I removed the rear SLS suspension in my W124 Wagon, pump, reservoir, lines, spheres, rear shocks, all removed, I fitted Nissan Terrano-Ford Maverick Bilstein front shocks.

Are they a direct swap over? Do I need to do anything with the top mounts at all?
