It’s very interesting to see a lightweight C55 in action. Do you have a square setup in 285? The car is tail happy What kind of camber has you on the car?

Thank for video!

Glad you guys enjoyed it!

We are running 265/30 R19 Toyo R888 tires at all four corners with around -2 to -2.5 degrees of camber front and rear. This was achieved with some custom control arms that we designed, we are looking at ways to get some more negative camber so we can move up to slicks. As it is now, we can't get enough camber to make good use of slick tires.

Those tire sizes will not work for a regular C55 by the way, ours has the CLK63 Black Series front end on it to give enough room for bigger wheels.

Nice! Do you have a idea of your car weight. I have a square setup in 255/40r17 but I will looking for flare fender to go wide (probably custom). I have front camber around -3.2 or more with washer mod! But I'm very interesting to trip my car to go light weight.
