just ordered 2 sets of #4 pads. Hope this gets it like kwiks!! My tech is going to put the camber bolts in during install aswell but that is front only. Silver if you are having bad problem with camber in rear after u put #4's in then try checking club202.com. There is a cat in that forum goes by the name speedybenz, he knows suspension. And is making some camber adjust kits for 202 that will solve are problems. About $250 a set.-MOE

you guys going for Brabus springs because you don't want your car too low?
why not change your pads first to lowest possible and see how that looks like compared to stock, then see springs, could save you $$$ and get same look; from my understanding Brabus springs are not stiffer than stock AMG ones, i could be wrong though...

So I say well get me #3 for rear and we'll deal with 2 up front for now. Then I read yours and kwiks threads and was like uh-o!! I called him back and said get me 2 sets of #4 and we will make them fit. They are only 10 bucks aset no big deal. I dont have part # but dealer has all info on computer so they will know what you need. Hope this helps-MOE

If your tech will let you, take some pics & document the camber bolt installation.
