question for those of you who are lowered
im going to have the car lowered this week, my question is, will i get a lot of negative camber/un even tread wear?
In my S class the tires wore out on the inside in about 4 months...there was no camber adjustment and i had her sitting pretty low...will i experience similar issues with the CLS?
the s class tires
the s class height
the cls...ive been living in this thing for 2 days lol
TIA

i suppose it depends how much you drive it. I have had mine on the lowerest setting on the Renntech ELM and have no significant wear, but i only do about 60 miles a week. Camber is obvious though so I would suppect its go to happen, just not as quickly for me. Sweet S btw.

To answer your question yes, I get about 5K miles on mine, lowered with 20" Brabus VI.
I bought the KMAC camber bolts but haven't had a chance to install them.

My question is, if your car is really low and the tops of the tires go inward won't the camber kit straighten it out thus making to top of the tires rub the fender?

Sorry for the question, but is this problem specifically for lowered vehicles?
Would I see this problem if I get 19" vs the 18" oem wheels? (just a straight swap...no lowering)
