KMAC’s options are somewhat confusing.
Just ordered Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. While I have my shop install them, I’m going to have them install a Kmac kit.
Is the $295 2-piece front camber only kit sufficient? It seems it will adjust camber and toe to prolong tire life. I don’t need crazy levels of adjustment for the track. This is a weekend car.
The rear kit(s) for the C63s seem to be a bit more involved and expensive. Are they required? From what I read, when lowering the car, the fronts get more out of alignment spec than the rears. Thoughts?
@K-Mac - if I need to adjust camber and toe for when I lower the vehicle with springs, just for the purpose of saving tires (not for tracking the vehicle), at a minimum, which product(s) do I need? Thank you!

Yes the KMAC Front Camber kit only will resolve any need for premature tire replacement (503316-1) comes with bush extraction tool so no need for arm removal.
Rear kit (502326-1K) provides Camber adjustment also for the 1st time (and extra Toe to compensate). Also with bush extraction tool so no need for arm removal.
Both the Front and Rear kits are precise single wrench adjustable - accurately under load direct on alignment rack.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
