PERFORMANCE AMG / BLACK SERIES - YET NO FRONT OR REAR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT

Yes AMG conjures up “Performance”. But reality is still a “mass produced” vehicle with
speed of production - cost / efficiency still the underlying criteria !

Hence still soft rubber suspension bushings and no Front “Camber” and “Caster” or
Rear Camber adjustment - only basic Front and Rear ‘TOE’ - directional adjustment

But essential to be able to dial in extra neg. Camber for performance handling or Track days.
Dramatically reducing understeer - deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.

Yet just as essential for day to day commuting - having the advantage of ongoing individual
adjustment to cater for varying road or load conditions. Allowing adjustment of tire contact
angles to spread load more evenly therefore resolving costly, premature excess edge tire wear.

K-MAC kits are also designed to require no special tools or
time consuming need to remove control arms to install !

Plus Unique Patented Design also allows ultimate adjustment -
Easily accessible, single wrench - direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD !

Both Front and Rear adjuster kits - bushings are also “uprated” for
Performance handling and significantly improving Brake and Steering response !
