Camber Kit????

Hello all I have a Kompressor Sport 4 door and about a year ago put on a set of MRR GT1 wheels which are 19x8.5 f & 19.9.5R / F has 235-35-19 & R has 255-30-19, now my issue is the R tires wore out in about a year and the F's are mint w/ plenty of tread?

I realized that when I put the rims on that the rear cambered a bit however never knew the damage it would do? My question is what camber kit is recommended for the rear of my car and if you can direct me to a vendor so I can fix, I put my stocks back on and with the upgrades I did to the outside the stock wheels do not look right in my opinion.

So PEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Sean

I just got my MRR GT1 on my C240 not too long ago (same specs as yours). My car is lowered on H&R springs. My friend recently rolled my rear fenders and I was thinking of doing a camber kit too. How much?

After analyzing my car, with my H&R springs and the fenders rolled, the tires still sits too close to the fender. It's literally 1/8" from each other. I rub every once in awhile. Will these Ghostrider work?

What spring pads are you running in the rear?

Hey c240DUDE, these camber kits will work. Just gotta be willing to cough up the moneys. I actually prefere the negative camber for looks and added lateral grip.

I do have kits available that would go a long way with helping perserve your rear tires.

I have tein coilovers and I'm dropped all the way in front and have about o.5" left to drop on the rear and the camber kit does its job. Fixed my rear camber and my tread still look like the day I put the tires on. Cant go wrong with ghostriders camber kit on price and quality.

I cut one coil and added a sport struts in the front, originally this car had the luxury struts so it sat higher than the c230K in the front. The rear is left alone.
