Did you get camber numbers for your KW V2 setup before camber kit?

I would be very interested to know what camber numbers you had on what coilover settings before the addition of the camber kit and after. From what I understand having the rear coilovers on the highest position should give you only a minor negative camber and you only really need the camber kit in the rear when you drop the coilovers. At least that's what I understand.

yes this is correct. you only need the rear camber adjustment. the only real reason i am in need of it is because im running 10" widths in back and without the camber adjustment i cannot run a 265 tire on the rear without it rubbing on the inside fender. right now its on a stretched 245 tire will minimal clearance. i will try to get the numbers for you asap

lol yeah ive been having problems with the fitment but it looks like it will work itself out. the 10" wide rim on the rear looks mean as **** from the back...especially when i get the right size tires on it

Looking forward to some pics meng! I'm still up in the air on whether to get PSS9 or 10....The more I read, the more I want the 10's. just wish I could find somebody with a w209 who has them already and get some reviews...

The PSS10 is a upgrade over the PSS9, so it should be better. You can go wrong with Bilstein period !!!!!!

You mean you CAN'T go wrong, right? I'm going with the PSS10's, I like the fact they are easier to adjust

Do not get the KMAC camber kit. It does squeek as dynomite says at low speed with the windows down you can hear it. I also washed and waxed my car yesterday after getting it back, I drove it after and let me tell u the squeek was LOUD. You could hear in loudly inside the car with the windows rolled up. Embarrassing. It went away when it dried out but it still squeeks at low speeds.

I used to hear mine squeak with the windows up also, it was awful. I sent a message to this seller on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...#ht_911wt_1165) so we will see whats up with that..

To correct my post above, the PSS10's do not fit the W209..

I would suggest you search "Ghostrider" and take a look at his camber kit. It eliminated my tire wear problem instantly. You'll even save some money on the deal. Melvin is a great guy to deal with. Just ask around this forum. Several use his kit.
