Big body burbbbbb
What will happen to the abc system and adaptive shocks? I don’t get it
@@Vitaliyhh-dd4ef This is ONLY if you’re doing a coilover conversion. Meaning….eliminating the ABC suspension.
Shut up.
Hi, I'm really considering going 22 but afraid the ride is gonna be too rough. I'm on 20s now and it's smooth. Will 22 be a little less with your tire setup? Currently I'm on 255/35/20 and 295/30/20. If my 20s is on a scale at 10 ride comfort. Would you say the 22 would be at a 8 or maybe 7? Thanks and just subbed. Love the channel.
@@300zVinh I appreciate you watching and subscribing! I’d say the 22’s are a 8-9 regarding comfort and smooth handling. It’s a bit more firm and will react to the uneven road more. But I really enjoyed it. Especially with the recommended tires that I suggested.
@@goldelementautoworks thanks for the response. I use to have a 04 cl55 on bags and it later developed too many problems so i sold it and now have a 2013 w221 s550 . Love how yours came out. I wanted to put the wide body on mines too but maybe this time around, I'll do it on the s550. Already got the renntech tune.
@@300zVinh Very cool! I love the 2013….the best W221 before the body style change.
Only certain models have retractable top issues.
@brandon - hey brother wanted to follow up to my FB post as I just am seeing this SL55 conversion and looks like this owner has the same SL65 larger 19" wheels as I have.... the height looks perfect and I think I need to raise mine to this height... any recollection what the measurement was from fender to ground height on this one? Mine is currently at 68 cm's on all 4 and now that I've driven it for about a year it feels too low and feel more of the bumps seems.. thx man
OMG - Coming from the UK, the SL looks so small between those vehicles 😲
@@RupertDaley1964 It’s a low profile roadster for sure.

Boss man. How did you end up opening it? I have the same problem sir

Are there any strut tower braces to further stiffen the chassis? I had front and rear strut tower braces on a previous vehicle and it made a big difference; I could take corners at ridiculous speeds with no worry of ever breaking traction or losing control.
@@ssjlkrillin That doesn’t sound like a bad idea, honestly………
Dope🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just saved me from being stranded. My cigg fuse was out so I replaced it but it blew my ignition fuse when I did not sure why.
I got clk55 my o6 coupe in Australia. Love it. Easy to work on reliable just watch crank sensor😂

@@kingkoup2661 Thank you!
I have an 04 blk sl55. love your wheels. Are they staggered;what size/off set? I want them.
@@dustinhuynh7919 Thank you! They are 20x10.5 all around. Staggered tire setup.
@@goldelementautoworks thank you for the quick replied. What sized tires (staggered)? Where can I get a set of those rims? I really like them.
@@dustinhuynh7919 Unfortunately, these rims are discontinued. It will be hard to find another set. 255/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear.
@@goldelementautoworks bummer…. The tires have no clearance issues, no rubbing while turning or over bumps?
@@dustinhuynh7919 No. With spacers, good clearance.
Oh man I need your help did he you were closer.
Time to sell it!

Hey Brandon, Hope you’re doing well brother. I have a few questions for you about my potential purchase of an SL… I wanted to get your thoughts on some things in addition to details about swapping out the ABC. I’m in the market for one … I want the 09-12. But I’m on the fence about the earlier models because I know they are your favs and are solid cars . Can I contact you via email or phone? Either works for me . Stay blessed brother , Dave
@@OceanDave32 Sure. Call or text me at 513-967-8079
I have this exact same car messed with the gas cap while car on looked it up you popped up now I’m a fan
PARTS
It’s very easy to fix the gas tank remove the pump you’re going to need a long screw driver and about 4 pieces of magnets
Ok, I just bought myself a 2004 E500 4matic wagon. Love to switch the air ride out so I can travel without any worries. Any recommendations?
Thank you soo much for the climate control, I searched for 2 days straight until i found this vid
@@bahaaelyoussef-2588 You’re very welcome!
Nice man, where did you get the grille from? Does your w222 have infrared camera/parking/distronic package?
@@juniordace1347 Yes, all of the distronic features. Here you go…….ebay.us/Z6H3e3
I remove the fuse on the passenger side. And now watching this I know why I’m getting the abs light on. But don’t remember the location the fuse was.

you should lowkey get a gopro
Great video & help . I'm 73 apparently now ,a fairly good mechanic. 😂
I was attempting to start changing my coil overs on my cl500 and since it was low I had a block tapered to where I can drive it on to get clearance to jack the front end up, as I was driving it on the car cut off within a few seconds I seen smoke on the passenger side fender area, it wouldn’t turn the key and I replaced the eis fuse 3 times it turns the key but the fuse over and over pops so obviously I have a short, and it still produces smoke so I have a bad short has never done this before, do you know where I should start looking for the short it’s not coming from the fuse box area in the passenger side, it seems like i may have to remove the front left fender to gain access or move the wheel well cover but I can’t even jack it up since I can’t drive it on the block, do you know what maybe causing this any feedback would be a blessing 🙏
@@kashiomodashio6455 Do you have the factory jack? If so….use it to raise the car by the factory side jack points covered by the square covers. Then go from there. Get access to the alarm horn and unplug it.
@@goldelementautoworks I actually used the the factory jack out of my w140 and it worked lol, and as far as the the factory horn do you think that could be why my eis fuse keeps blowing?
@@kashiomodashio6455 That’s the number one cause. The internal battery shorts out and keeps the fuse blowing. Unplug that horn and see what happens.
@@goldelementautoworks thanks it got late I did disconnect the alarm horn siren, I need to buy some fuses tommorow and give it a try so fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for the intel I’ll let you know if it works thanks so much thanks 🙏
Thanks so much 🙏 that alarm siren was shorted out causing it to smoke by the passenger front fender, I thought I was screwed lol! I removed it and the wire to the alarm siren was completely shorted it was fried, so I taped it up and put a bud connector and threw a fuse and vola! She stated right up, I replaced the front coil overs so far, I’m going to tackle the rear here soon, it’s weird tho my power steering feels normal, I haven’t converted it over to the normal power steering pump as I still have the tandem pump on, is that normal?
Your always on point my brother 100% mercedes benz are great cars.
Great job! You got the stance PERFECT‼️
Excellent video! I appreciate the tips
Sick collection of cars. Should be called the 500 collection.

@@josuruflores5064 What is your issue?
@@goldelementautoworks I bought the radiator coolant hose the left side and i already connected the everything but the bottom side I have no idea where it’s connected to, I did my full research and there obsoletely zero info about it
Just let in run into the street great job fool!
Thanks for this! yeah, it was a bit confusing at first but I finally got what you were saying. I'm upgrading the system in my 2000 CL500 and it's been quite the journey. Why MB made the stock head unit in that ONE year so "foreign" baffles me as any upgrade requires major surgery to the console wood trim. NO ONE makes a trim piece to accomodate an upgrade for that one single year...only the '01 and beyond. Those are all over eBay and AliExpress but nothing for the '00. I've had to dremel the console trim piece to accomodate the new trim for a 7" touchscreen and it still requires some cosmetics to blend it all in. Once I get the dash trim to where I'm satisfied with the look, the real PITA of the install begins. Wish me luck!!
