I've never heard of a camber arm for the front but that doesn't mean it's not made. Have you tried H&R because they make the front camber bolts for our cars. Maybe they can help...

How many miles are on your car? Just a thought, if it is real high, maybe some bushings are worn out. I assume you have lowering springs, right? If so, were the front tires wearing properly at the stock height?

The other thought is how much lower is the car? Same thought here, if you are really low, then no camber kit will get you back.

Been reading up on this forum and found 1 post saying that there is 4 corrections bolts needed for the front. 2 camber and 2 caster. I'm just wondering if that is correct? or is it just 2 bolts?

Anyways I drive a 99 E430 Sport and planning on getting it dropped next tues. Have all the parts and ready to go.

You may want to check out the following sites:

and

http://www.mrp-engineering.com

I'm having the same problem with too much negative camber after I lowered my car. The inside of my front tires are wearing way too fast. I haven't tried these products yet, but they might be worth the money given how expensive my tires are. If anyone has any experience with these companies or products, please let me know.
