Look in the rear of the car. If you see some round sphere things by the rear suspension with hard lines going to them you probably have SLS.

The round things are psi accumulators/dampers. they cushion the hydraulic pulsation that occurs during suspension travel. I know on BMWs with SLS, if the car rides like a brick in the back end thoes dampers are bad. Bimmers have the same ones.

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
