My sig photo is not current, I have a few photos up there in my post. With 2-2.5 degrees negative camber all around, the bolts 'apparently' do not provide adequate adjustment range; that was the advise from MB (following alignment) and also what I gathered from forum threads. Besides bolts are only available for the front. The K-Macs provide 1.75 degrees of adjustment hence expected to bring me closer to where I need to be. That's the theory anyway since I'm not talking from experience.
I agree it is an expensive experiment (paid $975.56 shipped),but what the heck, I do anything to get things perfect

I am lower. I cannot insert a pencil horizontal like yours. During alignment CHMB brought front Toe to 0 thereby effectively increasing negative camber from -2.03 to -2.43 (L) and -2.22 to -2.30 (R).

Also, that is about how low I plan to go via STAR lowering. Can you point me to a pic of the entire car please? I don't want to slam or go hella flush but definitely hate the wheel gap with lower profile tires. Not to mention the even high suspension because of 4-Matic

Thanks for the pictures, I definitely think that's about how low I'm going to go when I lower my car. Maybe a tad higher, but do you know what the alignment specs are like now that you've lowered?

Current camber specs (Rears -2.13/-2.19 Front -2.43/-2.3). K-Mac bushings (front and rears) should bring them within specs since they have a +-1.75 adjustment range. The vehicle is going in tomorrow to install the K-Macs (bushings delivery expected today), I could have attempted to replace bushings myself but I let the experts do it on their lift. No doubt it will go back to Cherry Hill MB for another alignment.

Toe in and Caster are within specs following alignment at Cherry Hill MB but needs camber correction (I chose not to use bolts since rears also needs camber adjustment).
