The Camber King? Anyone used their adjustable arms?

Does anyone have experience running and installing their adjustable arms? They have a set of dual rear adjustable arms for the c63s (S-model is different than non-S).

Here's the kit I'm looking at: Mercedes Adjustable Camber/Caster Arms Kit W205 X253 C63S GLC63S AMG 2017-Present

I'm wondering if someone has experience with:
  • their build quality & ability to handle high hp/tq applications (800hp+)
  • installing/DIY at home with the right tools
I think I can do the install on jack stands but there was mention of needing "the correct tool to take the lock nuts out". Not sure if that's just a ratchet "bit" I can easily find online. Or if it's actually a speciality tool itself.

I also realize that @ModalWorks has rear adjustable billet arms for the non-S version, but nothing for the S-model. Apparently they have a set in R&D but not sure of the release timeline. I would just go this route if something was available in the near term.

Thanks!

I have their adjustable arms for my E63S. They work, but they're not perfect. They're not exactly precision engineered pieces of art, it's very difficult to get my alignment correct and the ball joints have been replaced once already in a little over a year. However, your camber will be correct and your car will handle well.

Not sure about the install for you, my parts are very different.

I ordered this exact kit for my lowered GLC63 SUV non S a few weeks ago, but I went to install only to realize the whole rear subframe has to be lowered a few inches at a minimum to clear the body so the inward bolts can be removed. I would double check yours to see if it requires the same. On mine, that includes the air struts so yours may be a bit easier. Not a hard job, so when my 11 year old starts his Christmas vacation next week, we will knock it out so he can learn. I'm running Truhart upper arms on the front, but this was the only rear camber kit I could find that matches my rear suspension set up. I'm not sure about the whole "S" meaning in the suspension differences, but mine is the SUV so definitely not an S. My GLC43 had a different rear set up like my C43 does, so the other camber kits would work.
