Has anyone had alignment issues after lowering? I recently lowered it with a KW HAS kit but the dealer won't touch it and every other vendor does not have the 2018 file for my car except for les schwaub. However, they won't touch it because they need special tools for it.
There are alot of indy shops that can and will align it- there is no camber adjustment from the factory but the key is get the toe right to avoid scrubbing. If you are on the OC hit up Supremepower in Fullerton, they have UTD specs on their machine.

Check out K-MAC camber kits available for front and rear.
but its the negative camber that you can't get back hence the reason for the Kmac ... the camber will kill the tires even worse than they already do . I'm installing the bushing in the new year . I definitely have too much negative camber with the KW HAS kit

Downpipes, DMS Turbo's, DMS ECU, Akrapovic Titanium exhaust, KW V3 full suspension, Renntech Blow Off Valves, 15mm spacers front and rear, Carbon Canards and Grill.
Beautiful car mate! Have the same car, except I optioned it with the cross spoke wheels (and same carbon exterior package). I'll post in the new year, just received some awesome wheels from the US and getting a photoshoot done.
Next step - engine mods like you (probably tune at this stage).
Some crappy iPhone pics - I'm based in Melbourne, Australia. Great community.
When I first got it... with original wheels. Delivered straight from my dealer to my detailer for paint protection.
New to me!! 2016 C63 S with platinum white, just got delivered to me today. Excited!! Needs to get serviced and washed. And then time for some mods!
Nice to see another Cardinal Red!

Lowered w/ KW HAS ....... 255/35 up frt and 285/35 in the rear
I've got the sedan coming and was wondering about that tire upgrade combination. Any spacers or other things added? Do you have a full on side view? Does the additional rake bother?

No spacers and I haven't had any rubbing issues . The 35's in the rear are taller and right now it is sitting raked but I can adjust the front up or rear down w/ the KW HAS kit . I'm actually considering raising it up in the front 1/2 " . The ride is a bit stiffer then stock but nothing extreme and I've been setting the shocks in sport ........ I'm also about to install the Kmac ft bushings to gain some camber back . Once these 285/35's wear out in the rear I may switch to 30's and even try to fit a 295
