Thumbs down What's up w/ Speedybenz (adj. camber arms)?

What's up with Speedybenz?
Back in June I ordered Adjustable Rear Camber Arms for my 2002 E320 Sport (Special Edition), after just putting Eibach Springs on the car. My allignment guy recommended the Speedybenz Camber Arms to fix the negative rear camber.

I ordered them in June (paid via PayPal), and never heard back. I've tried several times to contact them, but never received any response. I've requested a refund ($278.00). I would't recommend them to anyone.

Does anyone have any suggestions on who I should go with (K-Mac)?

Question Help !

I just got off the phone with Group5 Motorsport, and they're telling me that there isn't anyone that's making the Adjustable Rear Camber Arms for my W210? They said adjustment is done without having to add these camber arms? This is contrary to what I've read and heard. Can anyone help me out?

Did you contact him before ordering? He makes them on order and was kinda backed up in orders I read on another post. It's all understandable as he is a lone ranger making these things for the tons of people that wants them.

Red face How about a liittle customer service?

I can understand if the guy is really busy.

But, he could have responded to my initial e-Mail (pre-order), or one of the other e-Mails I sent (2 post order) inquiring about the status of my order. A little common courtsey would have been nice.

Frankly, I didn't mind or don't mind waiting for them, as long as I know I'm going to get them, but no response is unacceptable.

I have an Eibach Pro System Kit (springs and shocks) with Dot 2 pads all around and a supersprint exhaust. It does rub (muffler) on a steep hill with one rear passenger
