Im sitting here having just read an Email from Erik at SLSconversions quietly banging my head against the desk...........

I've just bought and paid for 2 SLS Pods, nearly $400 inc freight which im happy with and tonight I read this.

Hey ,

The kit for the 124 sls conversion is finally for sale. If your still interested, check out slsconversion.com

Thanks
erik



The site is at http://slsconversion.com/w124.html and has both the 123 and 124 kits for under $200 US plus freight, you can pay via Paypal if you wish.

Im interested in your thoughts on the mounting but I popped out and had a quick look under the car and it actually makes sense and would leave the geometry original providing you didnt over or under charge the shocks.

Tony

Well if I assume the SLS struts on these cars work on the same principle, then there's no reason why they shouldn't work.... Better still, I'm sure they're far cheaper to maintain and if there's a leak, there's no fluid everywhere!

The problem with pump-up shocks on other cars is that the shock mounts aren't designed to take the weight of the car and as a consequence they often fail.

The other issue I see is if the air shocks are pumped up too hard it will flog out the mounts on the rear subframe especially where the torque arm is installed.
