Unhappy Another question from the noob

I heard that camber cannot be adjusted on the w202's. Is this true? If so, what do you do to save your tires? Does a camber kit exist for this car? Do I need one? Can a 202 be lowered with no gap in the front and back while sitting on 225/40/18 all around and not rub? Thank you!

Camber can be adjusted but after you get the kit it will not adjust enough. Right now I am 1.9 degrees negative. I am not about to spend 1200 dollars on a K-Mac camber kit. As of right now there is absolutely no wear difference between the inside and outside of my tires so I'm just going to leave it how it is.

There is a dealer camber kit for the front. Make sure you give the dealer your VIN number so they get you the right bolt & washer. It's the oval washer that adjusts the camber. It goes for about $11 for each side (Bay Area price).

My wear is pretty much even w/ brabus springs & bilstein sport shocks.
