who makes camber kits for our cars??

I just recently installed H&R springs and my rear is cambering really bad.

I've called around almost every euro tuner place that is local to me and they stated no one makes camber kits for our cars yet.

Any suggestions??

I'll search the forum on previous threads.

That's why I hesitate on lowering the car. The tires just don't seem to last as long and 18" tires are not cheap to replace every 10k miles.

Hey Buellwinkle what's up?

I'm starting to regret it now. I put alot of miles per week and I'm starting to see some wear inside.

BrabusCClass mention something about a camber kit, I'll ask him when I see him this weekend at the evowerks show.

Camber info and kit

Lowered the C32 with H&R, so should be the same net result as yours. Drop was 1.0 rear and 1.6 front. Yes, lowering added camber.

My camber now reads 0.8 degree each / \ on front
and 1.6 degree each on rear. (Stock was 0.4 front and 1.2 rear)

Personally I prefer the handling this way, and I am still wearing the outer fronts more than inner (probably the added weight in the nose and hard cornering). Rears are wearing perfectly.

Hard to imagine that your W203 would be that different.

I have read that there is an AMG (MB) camber kit that some have added to C32's to fix the "pulling to the right" prob. It is suppsedly cheap, and easy, but I don't think it has much adjustment range. (I think it is an eccentric bolt setup). Shouldn't it fit yours?
