Is there a solution for the camber problem on these CLS'?

Kevin M.

I just rolled the dice on the Kmac camber kit, I'll keep you guys posted after the install.

what is the camber problem?
as i do not know what camber means sorry
and Kevin where is your DIY on rear lights!!! come come now I know you can do it

Camber is basically how the tire sits on the ground, the lower these cars go the more camber it creates. Instead of the tire running flat on the ground they are angled inward which in turn creates more inner tire wear. All of us running 20's with a lowering module are eating through rear tires very quickly, like every 5k miles. This kit is supposed to solve this problem.

No rear lights project in the future, quite honestly I'm fine with my non LED lights, besides who cares what the guy behind you sees

You guys are funny.

Negative camber increases as the suspension compresses to keep a constant tire patch when the body rolls through corners. When you lower the car the caster blocks pull inward and add negative camber thus making the inside of the tires wear more than the outside of the tires.

ME! I care what they see especially when they think they have won, or going to

You really have to see them in person at night while the car is moving

Best of luck on fixing your issue

I just had my kmacs removed and OEM bushings installed back (my car has the renntech v2 module). Fronts wore out in 4k miles and so asked my tech to get a camber bushings kit. At the time I did not know about any specific brand. Anyway, as soon as I got them installed (2 months ago) the car felt sloppy. Any dip in the road felt like the cars toe/camber was "shifting". Took it back 2 times and each time my tech would re-align it and tell me all was tight. After the 2nd time my patience wore out and I called him out on the fact that he even allowed the car to leave his ship handling the way it did. He kept it for another week and guess what he found! The damn bushings were the cause of the problem. I cant articulate the whole thing here other than to say the bushings assembly was shifting. I cant say if it was a defective product or a design flaw. All I can tell u is after replacing them with OE bushings,my the car handled normal.

Anyone out there know about another kit? I think renntech has one???

So you had the front and rear on the SL?

How difficult was the install?

Only the fronts.

I dont remember the camber settings for the rears but the tires had moderate inner tread wear vs the fronts which had severe inner wear. I think I had a neg. 4 on the fronts when the car was in the lowest setting, which is how I like to keep it.
