Question for you all:Im starting to get hella tired of having to buy rear tires every 10k miles. Im currently running the Conti DWS in the rear, love them but they just don't last cuz of camber issues. I'm pretty new to the whole camber kit thing, so it'd be nice if you guys can explain what it's about.

From my understanding, there isn't a front camber kit? And only a rear camber kit? My main issue is the rear at the moment. The fronts I'm running Falkens FK452 and have lasted me 25k. Any help would be nice! Thanks guys.



PM me price for the 05 c230k sedan. Located in LA county but work in the OC. Possible pickup?

camber is the the angle of your tires in relation to the road. when you lower your car the top of the wheel/tire start to point inwards (negative camber). To correct this you install a camber kit so you can length the control arm out further to push the upper part of the wheel and tire out to get it back to the OEM spec. The front of our cars adjust camber by fluted bolts which require an upper and lower bolt (4 total for the front, 2 on each side). If you car is pulling from one side that is usually the toe and not the camber.

you have to give him time... He does this on the side I believe and he tries to get to everyone. He also has to wait for parts to come in and build them.

He responded to the others, but not me...even now.

That's OK, he's not the only game in town. I'm sure other companies would love to take my $.

Thanks for the info! Does this kit include the fluted bolts? Since i prob wont have the proper tools, going to an alignment shop to get this kit installed would be fine?

most alignment shops should have the fluted bolts for the fronts, if not just go to the dealership and its like 20 a bolt or order them online at rmeuropean.

install is not that hard, theres a DIY on my sig on how to install. its just two bolts.
