E350 Sedan RWD
Coilovers
I would like to lower my 2010 e350 RWD about 2".
My mechanic says that anything more than an inch will have a serious impact on tire wear and alignment.
I would appreciate opinions on this.
Thanks

the camber will be negative so the inside will wear out faster. However I always loweerd all my cars and the tires usually last for 50k kms for me. Its enough compromise for me

Pardon my ignorance but why do some camber kits consist of adjustable bushings (such as the Kmac kit) and some consist of just bolts/nuts and a washer/ shim looking item (at a considerably less cost)?

The kits with offset bushings are designed to have far more adjustment, and typically have updated bushings for longer life.
In this game you have to pay to play. I cant remember a single time in my life thinking ‘gee, I wish I bought the one that wasn’t as good as this one’.

re lowering 2", cars with the 'sport' package (majority of post-facelift w212s in the USA, not so sure about pre-facelift), are already lowered about 1.5". drop that another 2" and you'll be scraping body parts on driveway lips and such. a fast looking car that has to slow down to 2 MPH to carefully step over a railroad crossing is, IMHO, a joke.
