Question Rear Camber kit necessary for lower cars?

Hi guys,

Is it necessary to have a rear camber kit? I have some inside tire wear after I lower my CLK. I have not had the car aligned after the lowering job. Is it due to rear camber?

I have Eibach springs with stock pads and Koni Yellows. I am running 235 front and 265 rear on 18 x 8.5.

What do you think of this kit?

Yes, with no camber kit you will see some noticeable wear on the inside of your rear tires. Expect to have to replace them after about 10-12,000 miles. If you're looking fora camber kit, you might consider looking here....

They're inexpensive and well engineered.

Yes, or search for "k-Mac" rear camber kits. I ordered one and it fixed the problem!

Hey Vegas...

Tell me about your powerchip install on your car. Worthwhile? I'd like to try it on my 03, but have been leaning toward the Renntech..whatcha think after living with it for a while? Thanks for the info...
