camber wear
Searched, but didn't find anything. This is for the people with lowered vehicles.
I just had the car in for an alignment, as my mechanic noticed a bit of camber wear while he was doing the brakes. Nothing excessive mind you. Took it to local tire store, and all they could do was adjust toe settings. No camber adjustments for vehicle, front or rear. I was told to take it to the dealer, they have a bolt kit for this?
Wonder what others have done for this, if anything at all?
My car sits on Eibach springs and either number 1 or 2 pads. Haven't confirmed which.

There are factory camber eccentrics that you can get but they only allow 5mm of adjustment if I remember correctly which is like 1° I think. They are cheap from MB like $20. Otherwise checkout K-MAC's website, they have kits for our cars but they aren't cheap.

Well at least it's better than nothing. As I understand, the factory camber kit is only for the front suspension. Rear suspension camber can be fine tune adjusted using "camber arms" like those offered by our friend "Speedy"

yes
and just buy one on ebay last week (upper rear arm) for 200$
hope it's not to hard to fit
after that you've got non ajustable camber on front : 1.20-1.25
front toe adjustable
ajustable rear camber : put between 2° and 2°30' (advice)
rear toe adjustable

those bolts would be good to bring the l + R camber within 1/2 degree of each other. On my car I am exactly 1/2 degree on the passenger side.
Installing those would almost make it an identical match. L to R.
Remember, any more than 1/2 degree difference between L to R will cause the car to drift towards the side with the most positive camber.

guys, i've been searching for rear toe adjustment, and all the discussions camber and toe are discussed together. Is there a way to adjust rear Toe only with these bolts? I'm confused here. Or you get both adjustment with the single bolt you select?

I believe the rear toe is adjusted by an eccentric bolt on the tie rod on the rear suspension. On the hub side, there is a small ball joint. On the chassis side, there is the eccentric bolt, similar to the bolts discussed in this thread, but smaller in both length and diameter (if memory serves).
