My questions is: What did you do to fix the negative camber alignment which is created by lowering the car? I have a -1 degree which could wear the tires in the fron uneven. What do you guys do because I haven't found a camber kit to fix that issue????
I appreciate the replies. Thanks!

To fix the -camber, when doing an alignment, the dealer will install new camber bolts which will bring wheels back/close to specification, depends how much the car's been lowered. Although, with Eibachs, the front drop is so subtle to make a big change in camber
I switched to TEINs from Eibachs. I was not happy with the gap in the front. Even after cutting a 1/2 coil, a gap still remained. You can see my post in the Classifieds for the springs. On page 26 or 27 of this thread you can see my car with Eibachs and 18's, and the noticable gap.

Oh you mean this silly thing? 
.
It's completely DRY carbon fiber (non-overlay) - able to withstand a tremendous amount of heat and is extremely lightweight (I stood on its width before installing it to test that as well) - it is also about 1mm thick all around. It is a custom one-off given to me as a prototype to "do something with" - purchasing the pipe alone would equal a month's lease payment.
.
There are more pictures on the mbklasse forums as well.

it all depends on your dealer, i know mine sucks a$$. they wont let me touch anything. i am still going to install after market OEM BIX this week though even though it will void my warranty if anything breaks related to these head lamps (oh well).
what tint are you thinking of?
