Default Active Body Control

I am considering special ordering a new SL550 and contemplating whether to add the Active Body Control-Curve option. Any input about would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Personally, I think it's a pretty cool option. It smooths out the overall suspension and makes for a more comfortable ride. Also, when you're driving spiritedly, the ABC prevents body roll. I say go for it - other members should chime in too.

Thank you for your input! Sounds like I would definitely want the ABC. About how long and how many miles have you had ABC? And, thank you for the kind welcome! I am a newbie for sure!

Be prepared to spend money to maintain it.

No problem at all - I don't actually own a MB; just basing it off of what I've read and friends that have this system.

The car itself or the ABC with Curve, or both? I appreciate your input and advice!
