unfortunately with the w208s its hard to say some pple drop it and no problems wtih camber, other drop an its pretty bad, so just stick with the safe rule, the less drop the less camber problem, i have eibach in mine and the front camber gives me no issue, but i put a rear camber kit in when i dropped it so not sure how long that would have lasted.

Anyone running a 275 in the rear? Mine came with this size, and wondering if I dropped it would it cause an issue. I dont wanna roll fenders or anything else. It looks pretty darn close if I would have rubbing issues or not, will be using Bilstein Sports and Eibachs..
