Hi,

I am going to buy shims for control arms to increase the camber for my GTR Pro. I have searched and see that I need the part # 1973570600 which is a set. Do I need one or two sets to increase the camber for both front sides.

Also, to increase the camber at the rear, do I also need shims to increase camber? If so what part # do I need.

I hope somebody know. Thanks.

 

Maybe your MB dealer can help with that?

 

You'll need two sets of the shims you mentioned, front/rear are the same.

Unlike the shims on porsche - the MB shims cannot be staggered - which means each individual shim represents a different measurement and it is a lengthy process to get to the desired setting.

The good things is that once it's set, it won't change.

 

i just did my alignment and have two 95% complete boxes of shims. They will have exactly what you need as I took negative camber OUT of my car, which obviously uses different shims than what you will need. I will sell them for far less than what you'll pay at the dealer. PM me if interested and I'll send a few pics.

 

Great. PM is sent.

 

Not sure on the PRO but i Got two sets of shims from my dealer and the most i was able to get was -2.8ish and -2.5-6 on the rears

 

i'm lowered 1.25" on my gts and the best i could get was 1.7F and 1.9R, which isn't too bad.

 

Thanks for all tips.

2.6 front and 2.2 rear is what I aim. Hopefully that will work for road and track use. A bit more conservative than a Nurburgring setup.

 

Where will you be driving? That’s very aggressive for street.

 

A GTR has from factory 2.0 front 1,8 rear in camber. That work perfectly on road, but scrubs a bit on track. My friend has got a Nordscleife setup with 2,8. He is happy with setup for Roald and track, but for me that i to much to start with.

I don’t know the base setup for Pro but some says it’s 2.2 an 2.0 front/rear from factory. Maybe someone here knows?

 

I had mine set up with -2.5 F and -2.2 R and there were zero issues driving it on the street, plus no additional tyre wear that I could appreciate. Just make sure the toe is set correctly!

 

New Pro owner here. Are you getting shims from the dealer or aftermarket? Does anyone have any recs for where I can purchase some?

TYIA

 

You can get shims from a dealer.

 

Thank you

 

I would give you the part number but I cant find it. But i called my local dealer and asked for them. I'm sure the part number can be found somewhere on the "Hard track Use Upgrades" thread

 

I got 5 mm spacers from H&R, and works great. IMHO that is a bit more subtle and you still have the ring on hub for to center wheel correctly.
