Need help about alignment.
Morning guys.
Going to trade it in. Find out that after 1500miles lowed and put the spacers on the inner side of right tires are gone. Both front and rear. The left tires are ok.
The car is a 14 sedan. With H&R springs, 12mm spacers front and 10mm in the rear. With 507 wheels.
Is it the alignment problem or camber? Can we adjust cambers on our cars? Btw the car pulling to the right a little bit.
Help. I am in Austin area if u know any professional shops plz tell me
And I know many members here has the same set like mine. Any problems you guys has gone through?

yep, i know a tech at an mb dealership and they have no issues aligning your vehicle if it is lowered with or without spacers, as he is the one that does my alignments.

yes the spacers don't matter it's the change in ride height. I had my 09 aligned a couple of times and it was never right until the dealer did it. The dealers know the cars and the adjustments that can be made.

Did you secure that E63 yet?
Even lowered dealership can do alignment on your car. Depending how low you are they will only be able to align it to the car possibilities.
Do you have your alignment specs from previous attempts?
Our cars slightly pull to the right and being in Texas it is normal. But your specs might be off since 1500 miles for a replacement is low. When I was lowered (without spacers) after alignment I managed to get 7000 miles off my rears. My front were still good and I was able to sell them to a fellow member.
How many miles before installing the H&R springs?
By the way my local shop did the alignment. So not necessarily MB knows how to do it. Any good tech with proper equipment will.

14000miles before lowered.
If I go to the dealer for the alignment, do I need to tell them about the lowered and spacers?
And we cannot adjust the camber on our cars, right? So it's all about alignment?

i would tell the dealer you changed the ride height, lower. "I'm here for an alignment it pulls to the right and I changed the ride height." As soon as they service the car they'll be able to tell the springs were changed. H&R uses purple springs now.

Not yet, but almost there. I may get one from the dealers lot not sure the 14,or 15. They have a better deal on the 14.
14000miles before lowered.
If I go to the dealer for the alignment, do I need to tell them about the lowered and spacers?
And we cannot adjust the camber on our cars, right? So it's all about alignment?

Camber/toe/caster etc... are all parameters of an alignment.
I doubt there are any major differences between specs for an 09 and a 14 C63 sedans.

If i recall right you cannot adjust camber in the rear but can do it in the front with the MB bolts to remain within specs. K-mac kits are the only one I know that will allow us to adjust front and rear. Camber/toe/caster etc... are all parameters of an alignment. I doubt there are any major differences between specs for an 09 and a 14 C63 sedans.
