Good camber kit when changing suspension on c43

Im about to do suspension on car Bilstien sports and vogtland sport springs. Im going to drop it on my amg 17 inch rims. I was wondering if its worth getting a camber kit for the rear? so it doesnt eat my tires. And soon im going to put 18 inch monoblocks. Whats a good source for a good camber kit ?

I have the K-MAC kit in the front and the MBArts adjustable camber arms in the rear. The speedy benz camber arms are supposed to be good as well

+1 for Kmac. I have the Speedybenz arms, but have not installed them for the moment as I am waiting to do for the official technical inspection (every 2 years) and any non homologated parts are banned, so you can understand why I'm reluctant to install before..... T Rex has currently about -1/2° on the rear with standard arms and 18" rims. Drove the other day with 2 persons in the back seats. I could hear the left rear tyre rub very slightly on certain bumps or it could be a suspension link Guess I'll have to do a good look around after my vacation

I am about to replace tires & need front bushings, so this is a good time to make a major suspension change. I know there has been a lot of discussions on this subject but that's what we're here for. I am having difficulty deciding on going with Vogtland/Billy Sports or being conservative & doing Euro springs/Bilstein HD's. With the Vogtlands I would want front Kmac's & maybe Ghostrider's rear camber arm. I just don't want to ruin $1000 worth of new tires or be rubbing when loaded down with extra passengers. With the Euro's am I really making enough of a drop for the expense that's involved. Your comments are always appreciated.

I'm on Vogtlands and Konis with #1s in the front and #3s in the rear. I had a complete allignment done and my tech said I was fine camber wise with the stock arms. I found this hard to believe because everyone on here does the adjustable arms, but he said I was fine for street use, and would only need more if I wanted an aggressive setup for racing. So I'd imagine you'd be just fine with stock arms for the euro springs.

you don't need them for euro suspension,why euro cars don't have different camber? but keep in mind these cars always eat tires kind of normall on this type of car( stil it's not to bad). go euro much cheaper it all depends on what you want
