The factory adjustment is about +/- 0.3 degrees. The kmacs should give you 0.6deg of adjustment (double).

W202AMG

They give almost 1° with #1 pads and stock Euro springs.

Yea but thats a lot higher ride.

Look at how low my car was in the front

PJmak

I put poly bushes and slightly used stock shocks in the front with H&R sport springs and #2 pads.

99.9% of vibration is gone and I haven't even aligned the car yet.

W202AMG

Its not that high:



If i was as low as yours id tear the floor out and rub on every guard in sight...

This pic so tempts me to put back on my 17s and just get rid of and sell my 18s.

DRBC43AMG

I can understand your feeling, but I still feel the 18" fill the wheel arches better

ProjectC55

The 18s do I agree but my car sits pretty low so I think it will look like the pic in my post above. Plus the torque advantage of the smaller diameter and lighter 17" wheels would be appreciated in case I decide to Road racing or auto the Benz. 17 inch tires are also cheaper to purchase .

Also will be easier to sell the 18s

PJmak

My car sat at least an invh lower than that and even at where you are at, you are already pushing the geometry.

An inch at that point makes difference.

DRBC43AMG

Mine with 18" and KW Variant 2

PJmak

What number spring pads?

DRBC43AMG

No specific pads as the pads are fully adjustable

PJmak

I wonder how much that setup is for the US market?

you also have it in the rear right?

DRBC43AMG

Yes. Not cheap but worth every cent IMO. There's a guy in the UK who has converted his 43 for racing at the Ring. Interesting concept and he has worked with KW over the winter for a specific suspension set-up.

PJmak

I just bought a w203 c55 and it has KW2 v2 coilovers. The car is a go cart, Id definitely want a similar setup on my 43

DRBC43AMG

Go for it then

A little off topic. I'm looking to get the kmac for my c43. I was wondering if you did the install yourself and how long it took? How much was install if someone else did it?

W202AMG

i installed them myself, it takes a few hours if you have all the right tools. I have the full set front and rear.

The kmac bushings put out some annoying noise. They make noise when going over road humps and sometimes while parking and other senarios. More so in cold weather.

Alignment came out great though. But I would rather have stock parts any day. My car sounds so old.....

W202AMG

yep, mine do that too

paste

I had a shop change bushings in my control arms when I wasn't feeling too well and I had no idea that there was Kmac bushings installed already in the front. They completely destroyed them when taking them out.
