Just remembered to post this...

Here's a link on how to order up some ajustable camber arms. This ends up being much cheaper than anything else out there and are good quality. I've installed these on mine and works great...something like $70.

I'll try and post up some pix and more info here soon.

Thanks for sharing! These look awesome. Do you by chance have a DIY for making your own front sway bar endlinks? :x

phister

End links should be the same but you just have to measure your length. I'm fixing to order the energy suspension ones next week. They run about 80 for the pair

TruTaing

Do post the info when you get it all sorted out!

Sorry no info on endlinks, but here are some pix of the camber arm install...

Nice Info, Henry. Looks like some decent adjustment range. Did you get yours from Speedway?

You threw some new rear rotors on as well?

Hope all is good in your world.

Hey Greg,

Yeah, I think the min. center to center was around 11.5" and I've got them set around 11.75", but they can probably extend to around 13". Good quality and you can't beat the price. Got them from Speedway for something like $75 delivered. I went ahead and replaced all rotors (fronts were below the min. th.) and Akebono pads all 'round. The new pads and rotors had zero bite initially, but once they were bedded in some, they feel pretty good.

Everything good here, say hi to Jen, Grant, and ??? for me.

That's great on the arms. I need to do a set. Just did new rear tires....Sending you a PM.

how are the arms holding up. Have you had any issues with them. Are aluminum sleeves strong enough for everyday use. What worries me is that the aluminum might no be strong enough and brake off.

hcoronado

I've had mine for about 6 months and so far so good - no complaints. Just use some high performance grease when you get to assemble the arms.

hanknum

No issues at all. I think all the others are also aluminum. No need to worry though, these do not carry any load. They mostly just position the wheel.

Thanks for the feed back this is definitely on my list then.

When you got the sleeves what length did you go with?

Could you please post all information so i can order a set for myself.

Thank you

Not sure if it's the same thing since I can't view the links or pics at work through the firewall but I suspect you can pickup these bars at your local tractor supply for $13 each. I've been using the huge ones as panhard bars for my low riders for years. Zero issues.

What exactly is the purpose of these? Allows for the correct range of camber on lowered cars but is this for coilovered cars? Or just springs requires this?

Thanks guys.

Is this applicable to W204? I prolly need to give more negative settings to it.

Need help as my rear rims are rubbing my fender due to offset issue (ET 40). Running on 265/30/19 tire series.

Any replies would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I like the idea of these for my car since I lowered it, however:

I wonder what is the durability of these?

because,
Alum and steel hardware together in a winter environment with salt and water etc = galvanic corrosion which eventually will eat the threads giving failure. In a warm climate where you don't encounter salt and salt water spray on the roads there is no worries

K-MAC

1. Manufacturer of Wheel alignment products and also suspension bushings
2. 90% of todays vehicles have no alignment facility because of cost cutting and speed of assembly lines to provide adjustment to resolve premature costly, inner edge tirewear, improve traction and breaking response.
3. 2 Billion autos and alignment companies merely adjust TOE (turning the wheels In or Out which only alters wear position from the edge to the centre as it now skids down the highway.
4. K-MAC manufactures the worlds largest range AUDI to VOLVO - being the longest established with more experience.
5. "Bushings" (the first vehicle item to fail) - huge OEM industry in supplying replaced bushings.
6. K-MAC are superior to OEM designs

Browsing through days and nights but to no avail of solution to have W204 rear clearance from fender.

Here's a link to my post over on the Crossfire Forums for the set that works for us. These use a DOM swedged steel tube in place of the aluminum. Much more heavy duty and the setup has been race tested in the World Of Outlaws. More then adequate for our needs. I've had these on for nearly a year and tires are wearing perfectly. And I'm running 2 sizes over OEM (275/35-19)

For those of us new to MB, the crossfire is built on the MB w203 frame correct? So that shopping list should be identical to what our cars require right?

How about 4matics? Are the camber arms the same Awd and 2wd?

syfi

XFires are built on the r170 frame. I'd say that if you can use the ones discussed in this post, then these will fit also. Only difference is the use of steel tube instead of aluminum. Just measure the size of your OEM arms. I believe our standard length between ends is 11.5 - 11.75 inches. That's why the use of 9" tube. 1/2" dia. bolts fit through each end. As long as no sway bars in the way and you have a straight shot between ends, these should work fine.
