The front camber can be slightly adjusted with the eccentric bolt kit. Part number A000 330 0018.
I would check your toe if you are seeing tire wear. It contributes much more than camber.

A good body/frame shop can adjust camber back into spec. All wheel dynamics are important when doing your alignment, but if you have a camber problem then fix that before moving on to the rest of the adjustments. Make sure your bushings are all good before anything else.

Your car is lowered so you have limited options. Using the so-called "eccentric" bolts from Mercedes will only buy you a reduction of 0.3 degrees camber (i.e. if the front is currently at -2.3 degrees then installing the bolts will only bring it to -2.0 degrees).
If you insist on running the car with lowered suspension, you can install KMac bushings in the front. I've been running a set for almost 2 years and over 37,000 miles. They aren't cheap and you have to pay to install them and re-align your car but they work well.
