I might be having a friend jig me up some rear lower control arms with a mounting point approximately 1" (might be lower, I have to decide) lower than stock. This will allow you to go lower, but will also make the ride nicer for your daily height (in addition to prolonging the life of the strut) because it will be as if you were actually raised 1" higher than your current height.

Any interest?

Will it correct the camber on a already lowered CL?

OCKlasse

This will not affect the camber. It solely serves to make the car go lower, and make the ride nicer for an already-lowered CL.

it would be cool if u can adapt some kind of camber adjustment on the custom lower arms.. maybe with esentric bolt or a adjustable end link similar to the power steering rack

OCKlasse

I totally could, but I have no use for it, personally. Get me enough interest, and I will

freestylebiker3

well.. the lower u go the more camber you will get, which will give u un even wear on your tires... so this camber adjustment could save you money in the long run in tires

OCKlasse

yeah, but for clearance's sake, I need the camber

freestylebiker3

true. true... i know the fender has about 3/4 inch of lip that can be folded over to clear bigger tires, but it would suck to damage a CL in that matter

OCKlasse

Very clean!

This was my next move if I hadn't sold it. GL Brandon im sure it's gonna come out dope

OCKlasse

Thanks homie!

I have received my prototype arms and will be test fitting them tomorrow! They will be camber-correcting as well!

ROLLNNN

gonna be sick! cant wait to see this...

I'm pretty sure the W220 has toe and camber adjustment on the rear suspension by the usual means.

I believe toe only.

The arms need a little bit of modification. Hopefully within two weeks I will get them back and we can try again. The prototype arms are .5" narrower, and I will record before and after camber readings to see if that will be sufficient

OCKlasse

I considered using eccentric bolts, but it seems like a lot of work for around one degree of adjustability. Just shortened will hopefully do the trick!

Here's a sneak peek. I still need to perfect everything between the links and the module. Better pics to come. Note I don't drive at this height, this is just all the way down on my V2 module.

Some things:

1. Driving height camber reduced approximately one degree (from 2.7 to 1.7)
2. The car drives SIGNIFICANTLY smoother at driving height. It feels almost stock now!

So far, I'm very impressed. I need to do some light trimming on the fenders now, since I rub slightly on the outside edge because of the reduction of camber. Overall, this will be a winner for those of us looking to go low, have the car ride nice, and have better tire wear.

Oh yeah, I also am boxing in the arms, so can you say improved rear traction?

Pretty sweet results.
