I just had my new SL on the lift at the local shop for a tire change a few minutes ago. It's the first time I've had the chance to take a very good look at the underneath. I'm planning to upgrade to Bilstein HD dampers all around because I'm finding the car a bit more "floaty" than I'm used to (I'm a long-time BMW and Lancer Evolution owner).
It doesn't look like there's anything too tricky involved in a spring and damper swap. As far as I could tell, my car doesn't have the self-leveling rear suspension and it looks like a straightforward job. The only thing I haven't had a good look at yet are the top-mounts for the rear dampers. Not sure exactly how to get to them. But everything else looks simple.
