CLK55 spring rates and camber plates?

Does anyone know the spring rates on the 209 clk500, clk55 or clk63??

I am planning on tracking a clk500 and want to know where I am starting from. ANY leads would be helpful in setting up the car for track/autox. Actually have done a lot of track days and autox in the car already but need to go to the next level. Plan on 285 all around with 9.5 x18 rims. I have in the past run 245 race tires with 5mm spacer on the front and 275 in the rear. Also, NEED neg camber as the car eats tires in the front. So any leads on camber plates most appreciated!

If no one knows the stock spring rates, maybe someone may know the rates on the kw2 or the pss9?

haters crazy
Cant help with the spring rates or where to get camber plates but I would also like to know. I currently run the KW v.2's at the track. When you lower your car, you will get negative camber. You can even buy a camber kit form kmac or speedy benz.

FYI- I dont think you can fit 285's up front without body modifications.
