***FEELER: W204 REAR CAMBER KIT***
Hello W204'ers!!!
I was just wondering would there be any interest in the development of a rear camber kit for your W204's. There is an increasing number of members that are now beginning to lower their cars. With lowering comes negative camber. With negative camber comes tire wear. With tire wear comes the dreaded PTBS or Premature Tire Buying Syndrome. This condition may cause a decrease in available cash for other cool car stuff.
For those that are lowered:
· Are you able to get the rear back into factory alignment specs?
· Are you experiencing excessive rear tire wear?
Any information you could provide would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Ghost

There's a kit already available from a reputable (but no longer on these forums) manufacturer known as MBArts. They pretty much cover most/all suspension fine-tuning needs (besides springs/coils). If you can bring something to the table that they already haven't that would be cool to see.

But, are you saying you're going to be able to offer us options at a lower cost that those "other" options?
Here is my input on the topic... I have not lowered my car as of yet... Why Not?
Main concern is: "being out of alignment and having to deal with more wear and tear on both front (but mostly) rear tires"...So you sort of hit the nail on the head with your post.

I think I can speak for snarlingchicken when I say "we want options, WE WANT OPTIONS"...

I lowered my car and have yet to invest in any sort of camber arm adjustment. I would love to see what you have to offer.

+1. Lol. Maybe I wasn't clear in what I said. The mod community is always looking for options. Whether they be new innovations or cheaper alternatives of equal caliber. You guys are more than welcome to develop something for us. I lowered my car and have yet to invest in any sort of camber arm adjustment. I would love to see what you have to offer.
