Camber Kit on W219 CLS?

Has any1 corrected their negative camber on lowered CLS (where as inner part of tire wear down faster then rest of the tire?)

I know that they are camber kit available from MB Arts & KMAC has anyone use these on the CLS? does anyone experience uneven tire wear? Help please I don't want to wear down new tire in 4-5k miles

I had a shop locally try to adjust the camber.He was able to bring it in a few degrees but not enough to fix the problem. Im on my second set of rear tires for the year. So if anyone has some info please post.

S500 When you put the 20s on the camber really changes because of the 10-11 inch rear wheels.

I too am experiencing premature inner tire wear. In fact, I just found this out while I had the car on the rack at a friends shop. We were eyeballing the exhaust and I just happened to look at the inside of the front tires. I literally have threads showing, while the outsides look like they would've lasted another 5,000 miles.

So now I'm about to drop $600 I didn't see coming on two new fronts.

If there's a fix, I'd love to hear it.

You guys need a KMAC kit. I have one on the way for my CLS to help remedy camber. Alignment by itself won't get us to dead even if you are lowered.

Just went through this.
MB sells a camber correction acentric nut bolt combo. It pushes the camber back to stock location after lowering. Its basically a bolt with a grove and washer. When the nut it tightned it pushes the center of the bolt out. Kinda hard to explain But it works. There $28 each at the dealer
