Front Camber Adjustment

Hi guys, newbie to mercedes here. Got a 2009 c63 dropped on H&R coilovers and 20" staggered rims. Currently I'm having an issue with the front tire rubbing where the fender and front bumper touch. Looks like it could be alleviated with some camber put on the front. Does this car have any camber (crash) bolts?

C63
Mercedes has a fluted bolt (part# A 000 330 00 18) that add some fixed amount of adjustment. SPC has a front camber eccentric bolt that is adjustable by +-1.75. If not i would reccomend having a good alignment shop "slot" your holes to add whatever adjustment you need.

I had a similiar issue with dropping my car on stock rims, but too much negative camber kept on eating my tires especially in the rear. My fronts where slotted and I installed some Megan Racing adjustable camber arms for the rear. I know I am sacraficing handling, but i rather save money on tires. Good luck

KMAC makes camber and caster adjustable bushings for the front as well.

I run them and they seem fine to me. No negatives in the handling department that I can tell on the street. Track may be a different story.

please dont slot the holes in your subframe that is a horrible idea. Either use the benz bolts or the aftermarket centric kit. the factory bolts are only going to give you about 20 minutes or 1/3* of camber which isnt a whole lot.

Kmac setup is great. i have them for both the front and rear setup with 2.5 negative camber for the front and rear. i also added caster and toe in the rear with toe out in front. the cars handling is amazing. this is a very aggressive setup but i only drive her for fun anyways.
