Thanks... that is a nice C43... did you have to buy front and rear camber kits? I understand that the front are camber bolts only. Did you buy the camber kit?

thanks... i will check it out... the reason i was asking is because of alignment... i have been trying to research on lowering my C43 but i dont see a lot of people doing the camber kit. well, at least on this site. A lot of people just do alignment after lowering the car but there is nothing much to adjust after you install the lowering springs. I only see toe adjustment via the tie rods... where else do you adjust it on this C43s if you dont put the camber kits?

Yep, that's it. You can use the K-MAC kit for more adjustment or eccentric bolts.

I think this DIY should work for my rear... I may just need to buy the repair kit bolt from the dealer. I saw it on one of the post here. That may bring me close to spec. I just hope the rear toe will not be affected by this DIY kit. Thanks.

Yes you can fix it right the 1st time (Front and Rear) with K-MAC

Ex-factory there is only front and rear Toe adjustment for virtually all Mercedes 1968 to current models (and same with Chrysler Crossfire and 300C etc).

We saw the need and were the very first company to manufacture precisely adjustable front Camber and Caster bushing kits with twice the adjustment range of the basic one setting offset bolts.

Then for the rear, K-MAC Camber adjuster kits, which have the advantage (unlike upper adjustable arms/DIY kits) of not moving the top of the tire outwards when adjusting to resolve premature inner edge wear - which is an important factor to prevent tires scuffing outer fenders if wide profile tires/rims fitted.

Another advantage with K-MAC rear kits - unlike spherical bearings used in these upper arm kits, there is no harsh metal to metal contact and 20 years of the proven design - there’s certainly no squeaks.

Also all K-MAC rear Camber adjusters include extra Toe adjustment which is essential to compensate accurately for the new Camber facility!

The K-MAC patented design front kits replace the 4 main suspension bushes - the unique 2 axis/self aligning design also doubles the load bearing area thereby increasing wear life and also steering and braking response.

Similar design is used for the 4 main rear K-MAC bushings.

Result is precise single wrench front and rear (ongoing) adjustment to return vehicle to factory specs to improve traction, compensate for steering pull, costly inner edge tire wear through altering height, fitting wide profile tires, load carrying, curb-knock damage and/or the advantage of being able to alter specs, improve lap times on track days and with genuine K-MAC you also do not need to purchase special fitting tools.

Product confidence with K-MAC is further assured by our total, ongoing commitment to motor racing – all out 10/10ths competition testing keeps K-MAC products always at the forefront re cutting edge technology, proven strength and durability.
