camber adjustment

does anyone know if there are camber correction kits for the front end of this car? After raising the car to H&R springs uncut, I still have a ridiculous amount of camber in the front, esp. on the driver's side. I just got back from the local dealer, who said that the bolt was adjusted to its max. I'm only 150 lbs, so I don't think my weight had anything to do with it.

hey peter!

You're welcome! i think you can buy it directly from them directly. Call Jeff Owens at 714-628-9555. You can also ask him if it can be corrected beyond factory specs.

JamE55...

That's about $500 for parts plus $$ for alignment= $$$$$. JamE55, i know a shop in San Diego that can do alignment without the camber kits or screw alignment from the dealer back to factory spec. for about $375. I had it done on my M3,Slk and soon the Clk too.

the car is not nearly that low anymore..those are old pictures.

BTW Linh, I don't live in CA...that's part of the problem. There are many shops who could fix this problem in about 10 minutes over there. Those types of shops don't exist here. I can only rely on the dealer.

Randall or Simon, anyone want to open shop down here?
