I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
I think the only one available commercially would be the K-MAC set available on their site and on FleaBAY...250 bucks or so.
There is also a guy on mbw that custom makes rear camber assemblies...his name has slipped my mind for now.

This is what I've got. Super easy to install and really high quality. Worked great for me.

Yup....though camber kit are the better way to go. It does not require press tools like K-Mac and anyone can install it. It funny that I never have tires wear problem with mine CL 55, Clk 430, Slk 230 and Clk 500 after lowered.

Not even camber bolt on any of my cars. I think what save me from tires wear problems is that I like my fenders gap to be even front and rear when lowered. To do that, I usually used stock spring pads or rise the rear up a bit with spring pads and so the rear doesn't really lowered that much compare to stock.

The W208 came with front and rear spring pads but the W209 only came with rear spring pads sizes 1-4 due to struts front suspension. I orignally used stock #3 pads in the rear but then changed it to #2 now after installed the Euroteck carbon fiber lip because the lip added so much down force weigh at high speed to the front that my rear kindna tilt up a bit more then I want it to look. So by going with one size thinner then stock in the rear, the car now look very even at high speed. I will need to change back the pads again if I ever do the Evosport BS spoiler.

First off all, you should have gone with H&R, they drop lower and any shock combination works really good with H&Rs. I am dropped on h&r and no problems at all so i dont need camber kit at all. You are using eibach and im sure you will not need camber kit at all with eibachs. Good luck though and post pics when you get them installed
