Own SportLine ZERO
SportLine ZERO: For Everyone
Sportline Driven
Our R107 SportLine has been featured in magazines, including Octane and Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine. It’s been displayed at classic car shows and used for classic car events around the country. Interested in the SportLine project? If you’d like to discuss a SportLine restoration of your own SL, do get in touch.
Sportline Parts
But it doesn’t have to stop there. Our large range of upgrade parts will give you a taste of Mercedes SportLine at home. Engine and gearbox upgrades to sports suspension and even cosmetic touches… Ultimately, you don’t have to undergo the full SLSHOP conversion. Now, you can make improvements to the look and feel of your Mercedes SL at home.
We’ve picked out some of our favourites. However, you can view our full range of Mercedes SportLine performance parts in the catalogue below.
Performance anti-roll bars
Reduce pitching and body roll with our up-rated sway bars. With these, you’ll get better stability but remain comfortable. This is thanks to a combination of superior materials, a thicker diameter, and polyurethane bushes.
Adjustable tow and camber kits
One of the biggest benefits to a car’s handling is having it setup and balanced properly. So, our adjustable trail arm bushes allow tow and camber to be altered. Take note that the factory set-up doesn’t include this.
Adjustable coil springs
Stiffer coils with adjustable spring cups offer a more modern feel to the drive of your SL. And it adds stability of lowering the ride height by 70mm or more.
Drilled & Vented brake discs
Whether you prefer city or mountain roads, you want the assurance that your Mercedes SL stops as well as it goes. We’ve got it covered! Try these heavy-duty brake rotors, with the option for performance pads.
7×15” Bundt Alloys
Our dished 15” ‘Mexican Hat’ wheels fill the arch nicely. Also, it retains the classic look. Also unlocking a plethora of compatible tyres, in a very limited market for the now-dated 205/14 size.
Stainless Steel performance exhausts
At SLSHOP, we offer nothing but the best. Our stainless steel exhaust systems have been hand-crafted in the UK, since the days when these cars were new. Also, with the option to turn up the volume if you wish!
Limited Slip Differential
The Mercedes SportLine delivers an increase in BHP of more than 35%. Also, it has improvements in throttle response. That extra oomph needs somewhere to go! So an LSD upgrade is a must-have. This is one of our most popular SportLine upgrades.
Re-profiled steering wheel
Finally, take control our your Mercedes SL with the SportLine steering wheel. A thicker profile, thumb pads, and hand stitching give this old helm a new lease of life. Leather, of course!
