I recently lowered my coupe with H&R Sport Springs and noticed a significant increase of negative camber in the front / / =o= \ \ ..... anyone else get the same results. Also, anyone know how to remedy this... do the w204 sedan camber kits work for the new coupes. I want to resolve this soon before my tires wear out

Get it aligned and see what the numbers are first before dropping $ on a camber kit you may not need. More often than not, it's excessive toe-in or toe-out that eats tires, not additional negative camber.

My problem is not toe (see OP) its camber, and it was just recently aligned at MB. You can visually see the excessive negative camber.

Looking at it visually doesn't tell you squat. How much is "excessive"? -2 degrees? -3? Look at the #s in the alignment sheet and determine how far off they are from allowable factory limits and go from there. Negative camber is a good thing from a handling standpoint and does not affect tire wear as much as a lot of people believe.

Yeah, if you have the sheet from the alignment then check out your actual spec and your tolerances. I also agree with the negative camber comment above. It's not nearly as bad as one would think and does wonders for handling. If you haven't gotten an alignment after installing the springs, I would HIGHLY recommend it. It's about $100 at any good shop.

Here's a tip though. If you want your wheels to stay scratch free, tape up the lips where they clamp on the alignment pad thing.
