Front Camber Solution

I dropped my car and now my front camber is way out, more than can what be brought back in with the camber bolts from the dealer.

I've seen the KMac camber plates, their bushing kit, and then the camber arms from UPD and a couple others.

Which one of these is the best way to go?

Lowered on H&Rs with stock struts and my front camber is like -3 to -3.5 btw.

I am running the f1fabrication camber arms in the rear of my car. I'm still on stock height, but that being said I was able to bring the camber from -2.5 degrees stock to -.5 degrees to increase tire wear and straight line traction.

But I believe using arms and kmac bushings will give you the most adjustability.

For the front it’s camber plates. The bushings with the cambered hole design which allows the arms to move in or out more never seem to hold that well and its way easier to dial exactly what you want with the plates as well.

Well I emailed KMac twice on which product they'd recommend for my situation and never heard back. So I ordered the F1 Fabrications front camber arms.

Hopefully they will be here in a few days and I can throw them on and report back to you all.

I must say driving my father's Tundra really makes me miss being at the stick in my freeway jet

Kmac front camber plates brought my camber from -3.5 to -2
Had the plates modified slightly and now have -1.2
My C63 is pretty low.

The f1fabrication front camber arms won't do much. You need the kmac camber plates for the front.

I've got the fron arms coming, but I won't be able to get 3-4 degrees out of them?

I cant get a response from kmac, been trying to get in touch with them for 2 days now... Are they still open?

Subbed.

Do all C63s have this issue when lowering on H&Rs? Debating on skipping on springs and doing coilovers.

on the front not a chance. The problem is they adjust camber and caster. They are not a direct camber adjustment arm, which is why you need upper plates also. I have both front and back from them.

Yes, last 48 hours hosting company advises multiple servers, hosting accounts effected........ Hopefully resolved later today.
Meantime we find can't post here our email address. To trick system what works is: salesatkmacaligndotcom (at change to @, also the dot !!! )

Can advise : email address now back up !

sales@kmacalign.com or Toll free 1888 847 9099


W204 C63S we manufacture a "TOTAL SYSTEM":

Front Camber (and Caster) replacement Top Strut Mounts:

STAGE 2 (Street / Race) #503016-2 L $545 Pair

STAGE 3 (Full Race) #503016-3 L $545 Pair

Advise when ordering if more Neg (up to 3 "extra" degrees) or move Pos also up to 3 "extra" degrees.


While Front lower arm adjusters (precise single wrench adjustable) replace the 4 highest wearing front bushings.
'2' Inner arm for precise Camber (up to 1.5 degrees extra Pos or Neg).

The '2' forward facing thrust arm bushes are "Caster" adjustable to compensate for the Camber change. Also designed to eliminate the soft rubber, oil and air voided OEM bushings. Providing also noticeable improved brake and steering response!

They're similar in design to steel spherical bearings being 2 Axis / self aligning, but without the downside of spherical bearings with their wafer thin teflon liners soon pounding out - KMAC having more than twice the load bearing / impact area #502616 K $480 (set 4)


REAR Camber (and extra Toe to compensate) - replace the lower arm inner bushings (like front bush extraction tool included)

Advantage over upper rear arms is importantly maintaining "top of tire to outer fender clearance" when wanting to gain / traction /improve inner edge tire wear
#502226 K $480 (set 4)


REAR Uprated Bushings for the '6' multi link rear arms - less twitch, flex, loss of traction - especially when applying power to lane change / over take #502628 K $480 (set 12)

REAR Subframe Bushings '4'. Replacing the soft rubber, air voided OEM bushes to also resolve unwanted rear end flex / improve traction. Also like all KMAC kits where required bush extraction tools (and illustrated instructions) are included.
#503028 N $695

REAR Diff. Bushings '2'. Eliminating flex, yet Mono ball / 2 Axis self aligning.
#503228 J
$380

Delivery $40 one kit ($20 each extra)
