So I have been researching lowering our cars and addressing alignment and tire wear issues.. From what I have read once you lower the car you can fix the alignment and Camber wear with the KMAC kits. Unfortunately it sounds like there are issues with the rear KMac kits and I don't want to have to deal with something like this.. Do we have any other options when lowering?

How much lower than stock can you go before you run into tire wear issues with the stock parts?

thanks

K-Mac

There's no issues with the rear kits! We've been manufacturing and have proven this design concept over 18 years.


Virtually maintenance free - fit and forget. Allowing full adjustability - Camber with extra Toe to compensate for this new facility.


Did have feedback re problems caused by nuts not being fully tight but this can be expected with any loose suspension component. We quickly resolved with a unique fail safe lock feature.


Mercedes - a performance vehicle yet only front and rear Toe adjustment ex-factory.


K-MAC front and rear kits allow to return vehicle to factory specs to fix premature inner edge tire wear, steering pull, improve traction and steering response.


A result of altering height or tire size. Fitting wide profile tires or simply having ongoing adjustment capability for curb knock damage or being able to change settings on track days.


Re other options - for the rear there are "upper adjustable link arms with spherical bearing rod ends". But these are rigid unlike the K-MAC elastomer bushings. So as anyone in the race industry would confirm soon pound out allowing metal to metal contact with resultant rattles and squeaks.


Also these upper links means top of tire is moved outwards to overcome inner edge tire wear but this results in all important reduction of tire to outer fender clearance!
