Will this work on a NON lowered car? Seems like it might be a good idea to replace this part as they get worn out? And if I am going to replace it, it'd be nice to have one that can be adjusted later for lowering.

MBWorld Fanatic!
If you're gonna paint it orange you're gonna have to slam the car. Stock height and orange is gonna look strange. I honestly think the orange could look really hot if done right but it also has the potential to look really bad. Not much middle ground.

Hey thanks for the feedback about the orange! Yep, it's gonna get slammed in this whole process so I may jump on this kit since there is a deal. Don't think that I can drop it until I widen my arches since my new wheels could be problematic. But I'll know about that in the next couple of days when I get them mounted.

Well shucks.....I just read through this entire thread and.......
I know this is old, old, but.....the kit currently on Pro Tuning's site is just bolts and bushings?........no arms?
What am I missing here?

Correction.
I was looking at Pro Tuning Lab site .....not P-1 Performance.
I now see no camber kits at P-1.
However......for what it's worth.....I think I've learned that the two basic approaches to this challenge are the sleeve/bushing/bolt systems (provided by many)........and then simply installing a new adjustable rear camber arm.

Bump.
MB arts (the adjustable rear arm company) is apparently not responding to email or requests for information......this is both my experience and I see comments of same on the 211 forum.
The bolt-cam-sleeve products appear to be made in a couple of variations by at couple sources......SPC and KMAC. The SPC is newer and apparently it's yet unclear whether it ready for fitment on E55 (bolt size issue).
Both brands require the removal of the factory bushing....install of replacement bushings. The KMAC setup is more work basically because it has camber and toe bushings for each side.
I continue to be surprised there never has been more discussion on this on any of the boards.....I guess people just keep buying tires and put up with excessive rear camber.

Of course the challenge is that normal MB stealerships will not do something like the KMAC......you are left to tuners both for the mod.....and then for the align.
I'll admit this was part of the reason I was drawn to the P-1 or MB Art approach.
However......you and I must be some of the few that are dealing with this........others must be getting a better price on tires ;-)
