Alignment after cup kit...
So I put some miles on the H&R cup kit for my 2003 230 sedan, and it is at the dealer for an alignment. The dealer tells me the following: They cannot align the car to spec without 2 "caster kits" (yes, caster is what he told me) for $200 a piece. It's just the cup kit with #4 rear pads, from what I've read, people have gotten by with new camber bolts.
Do you guys have any advice for a guy like me?
thanks

i ahev your exact set up i just got my car alligned at -0.9 camber (the range is -0.2 to -1.0) all other specs were adjusted with no problems.i did the allignment at an allignment shop though cause my dealer wouldn't touch a modified suspension. i'd say try a specialized allignment shop

I'd love to go to another dealer but....
The closest dealer is an hour away, and the second closest dealer is god knows how far away. Would you guys know parts/part #s that I could get for bolts, then take the car to a specialty alignment shop?
thanks

The shop should have the bolts. IMO I wouldnt take mine to one that doesnt do enough mercedes to have some of the bolts in stock
