YOUR INCREDIBLE ALIGNMENT GUY? do you have the front camber bolts instead? because im pretty sure you have to atleast have the four camber bolts from MB to adjust front camber at all. amazing or not. with out the camber kit or the four bolts. you will have front camber issues epecially on nineteens and lowered! correct me if im worng. but what did your alignment guy tell you?

Even you rear camber was ok? because im on stock springs and shocks right now but when i went from stock 16s to my 18s the inside of my tire started to wear on the rear... and that was on stock suspension. it has to be even worse when you lower it. as you have probly heard from everyone with a lowered clk.. or any benz for that matter.

Any pics? I just want to see what they look like. Pics will also help you sell them.

I bought the 4 camber bolts for the front and got the mechanic to add plenty of camber. Around 1 degree.

So I have about negative 2.5 front and negative 2 rear with stock springs. Steering response has improved greatly but the front tires are wearing out FAST. I can get probably no more than 10k miles from a set of 300 tread wear rated tires.

Camber

I just installed my front camber bolts and rear camber arms. It took about 5 hours or so to do the entire car. The next day I took it to the alignment shop, and the were able to get the rear set perfect, and the front off by 0.6 degrees. They said 0.6 is really not a big deal. I'm lowered (voltland springs) on #1 pads all around, and sitting on 19's. Any thoughts on the 0.6 degrees?

Negatve .5 in front is probably within spec. .6 is nothing to worry about. What's your rear camber at?

Where did you get your alignment parts from?

Rear camber

The Tech just told me it was perfect. I installed the Benzboy rear camber arms; they must have done the job.
