99CLK320,
I haven't seen ghostrider much lately so I will try to answer for him. If I am incorrect he will surely kick my a$$. The rear camber bars are for the w208 but will fit the w209 as well. they are a very simple and straight forward design. you could probably have a machinist make up a set for your car.

Just wanted to share my experiences with Ghostrider's rear camber kit. The bolt closest to the brakes would fit the new ends with no problem. But the bolt closest to the center of the car did not fit. The diameter of the OEM bolt was too wide. Thinking that there is a problem with the OEM bolt on my car, I ordered another bolt from the dealer and that did not fit the ends of the rear camber kit either. This suggested to me that perhaps, the OEM bolt is not a standard size? It also seemed that the OEM bolt was slightly tapered because I got increasing resistance when trying to hand screw the corresponding nut to the bolt.

So what I did was attach to OEM bolt to a drill and used that as a poor man's lathe. I wrapped sandpaper around the bolt with one hand while holding the drill with the other hand sand of metal and decrease the diameter of the bolt. This worked for me. Interestingly, the bolt seemed to fit a little deeper into the new end after each pass with the sandpaper. This further made me think the OEM bolt is tapered and not a standard size.

I also noted that I have only about 25K miles on my 2001 CLK. So perhaps over time others with more miles on their car than mine may not have the same issue as me since their OEM bolts may wear just enough to fit the ends?

Aside from the bolt fitment issue. The rear camber kit worked fine.
