CLS Camber K-mac/Renntech

I have been looking all over the net and posts for a solution for this costly problem and it has driven me crazy! from reading everyone's opinion about the K-mac camber kit, it does solve the problem but squeaking and bad handling is what you will end up with....Renntech does have a kit BUT they say you have to buy the toe links ($1,295) to be able to install the camber bushings ($1,195) and that leaves you with $2500!!! if I'm going through tires every 10K miles that $2500 will buy me tires for 2 years so why the heck do it?!!! my question is can i buy JUST the camber kit from Renntech WITHOUT the toe links? i mean if people are buying K-mac and installing them w/o toe links why should another higher quality bushing require toe links?? any help or advice and i will give you my first born at this stage!!!!

Apparently its in the rear, i have the problem with my back tires as well so i didnt buy the K-mac kit. it throughs off the handling too, BUT i am not talking from experience...i just searched the forums for hours and found that some people had these problems when they went with the K-mac option. looks like no one can help on this subject.

Most people deal with the problem I think and just prefer to buy new tires. There is a trick to your problem, it is the button that raises up the car and its free. haha

when you raise the car the car still cambers, also you cant drive over 70 without the car lowering itself.

The camber straightens up when the car is raised, that it physics you can't change it. Driving over the speed limit is illegal, you can hit the raise button again when you slow back down, better than dealing with $1500 tires every year.
