Just came back from an alignment and i was told that my front wheels need a camber-kit. Does anone konw a good camber-kit i can use? I looked into the custom ones but it seems the guy bailed on some people's orders. The alignment guy told me that my rear did not need a camber, but my front did
I'm lowered on KW V2's if it matters

Only K-mac or dealer camber screws. The dealer screws is very limited adjustment. The K-mac is a better choice for fully adjustment. You're looking around $400 for the kit and $300 for labors. Or save your money and rise the ride height back up.

Me too but he's running on coilover which allowed you to drop way beyond compared to springs.

How much do the camber screws run? I'll prob raise it a bit, if not i'll just have to rotate/replace tires a bit earlier - even if i have to do that it'll save me compared to the $700 for a camber kit. How come i don't have problems in the rear?

CLK's running with coilovers have camber problems if they are dumped

I don't have camber problems front or rear with Eibach spring and Bilstein struts/shock. My guess is because you drop the front way too much and it cause the weight shifted more toward the front which added constant loads on the wheels which cause camber problems.

Lucky. So this does no damage to my car, just my tires? That's ok with me for now

Yup, unfortunately there aren't too many options for the front camber.

Do you have a part # for the dealer camber screws? Even if they help a lil i'll get them.

V2's are great -some love them, some don't but they've been great for me and everyone i've talked to that has them- specially for how low i am, it's great. I drove my buddies CLK with H&R springs, and mine is way more controlled. I love taking turns now
