K-mac rear camber part number
Hey guys - can anyone help me with the rear part number for my car? I need the front and rear camber kit but the rear has 2 part numbers and this company isn't easy to contact. The tricky thing is the 2nd part says it's airmatic, amg, b/s. Since I have the amg I thought that may be correct but on the order it says airmatic and I don't want to pay until I'm sure I'm buying the right one.

The rear part # is 502226 for the W204. The W204 does not have airmatic rear suspension.
When I ordered my rear kit I ordered #502226 and they sent #502626-1K which is a kit for the W211 AMG with airmatic suspension according to the box. My invoice said it was for a Mercedes C63 AMG Airmatic rear. I asked and they said the kit would fit but the toe-in bushing are a different length and might not be needed. Also the bolt for the camber bushing was a larger diameter than the stock C63 bolt. Rather than send the kit back I drilled out the lower control arm and left the toe bushings out. The alignment shop was able to set the camber at 2* (needed for tire clearance) and the toe-in so everything worked out fine. Not sure why they pulled this switcharoo on me. It was confusing and not very satisfactory but I made do. Also the bushing was a little thinner due to the larger bolt diameter but same overall bushing diameter to fit the frame. This probably stiffens up the rear a little but seems fine. My car seems to be a little harsher riding with these bushings in but I am OK with that.
Call or email if you are unsure. There follow up to my questions by email was very satisfactory. Their customer service seems to be very good. I dealt with Kevin and he knows his stuff.

I ordered the parts last night. They've been difficult to reach since apparently Kevin is out. They must be a really small company. I tried calling a few times and nobody picked up.
As long as I don't get shafted on the wrong parts being shipped like you, I'll be happy. My 20s chewed through a set of super sports too fast and I need to adjust my setup now.
