I know you are!!! Honestly, I'm just waiting for the weather to get better and parts to come in. That's about it and being gone for two weeks never helps...

I was going to save the updates for the morning, but I do have the rods and rods ends. The only thing that is left are the spacers, and I'm trying to work on something extra special for that!!! I won't have a spacer update until Friday though...

So, because of all the crappy weather we've been having here, both my machinst and fabricator are backed up. Not to worry though, cause ya boy got hooked up with a CNC shop!!!

Sent over the design today, and I just got off the phone with them working out the details, now all I need to do is get worked into their schedule.

99CLK320,
lowering springs

have y'all noticed with lowering springs that you get uneven tire ware front and back. what I am wondering is, can you install Mel's rear arms and be good to go without a camber kit in the front end?

I wouldn't say good to go. The front would still be needing taken care of. Mercedes makes a camber bolt for the front, but Ghostrider made some of his own custom camber bolts as well. Might want to PM him about 'em.

To be honest, with alignment and NO correction camber bolts in the front, my tire wear is almost even. The fronts really don't worry me at all, especially since I'm going to get a set of Ghost's bolts.

I am also contemplating making some offset front lower control arm bushings... That's all you would really need for the fronts.
