Chassis for Mercedes Benz SLK-Class 11-20 (R172)

3 tips: How to improve the handling of your car

• Bushings from e.g. Powerflex are made of polyurethane which is harder than the rubber bushings that are originally on the car. When you install a firmer bushing you reduce the flex in the chassis and get better road handling.
  
  
• Lowering springs or coilovers make the car both look better as it is lower, and you get a completely different handling than standard. If you install coilovers, you can also adjust the height of the car and in many cases also the hardness of the shock absorbers.
  
  
• Wheel angles are something to consider both when you want to drive fast on the track and also fuel-efficiently on the street. If your wheel alignment is wrong, you will wear out your tires and get poor road holding quickly. With the help of adjustable links for camber, caster and toe, you get good adjustment of these.
