beautiful roads!

i still do not know what it has to do with your knowledge or lack of.
I too have a youtube video where I drive a GLC around turns but I did not need a fancy adjustable arm to get my alignment right for it.
Vehicle alignment has a range of adjustment that you can set without replacing parts. replacing your arm to get negative camber that you could have gotten with the stock arm seems dumb to me honestly. somehow you believe you can only get your alignment right with an adjustable upper arm because you have an adjustable arm.

What kind of grown man pokes fun by calling other people ladies with friends visiting? I mean, if I was going to call you an emotional whiny little man who cannot handle feedback, I would not need to associate it with having a period or menstruating. those are the scary words you were afraid to type. Your sissiness has nothing to do with emotional reaction based on menstrual chemistry, you are just simply a little man with a useless adjustable arm.

This is exactly why you should troll people that don't know better..
The custom upper front control A arms are to "reduce" excessive negative camber when lowered not enhance it..

This reduces understeer and helps with straight line braking by keeping a full contact patch on the road.
Excessive negative camber can cause the wheels to tramline, or follow cracks in the road. It also worsens acceleration. The vehicle is often too sensitive to the crown of the road

Look, just bother someone else, you have an entire forum to play with..

Yeah do that because I could use a few driving lessons..

1992 Willow Springs Raceway..Big Willow
1:17 seconds flat on the big track, that's 9 seconds faster than any AMG GTR today.



I traded this in for my GLC 63s coupe..




Cornering ?

ok, let me help. you would never build an offroad-like GLC coupe.
go buy another adjustable arm or something. nobody here but you are asking the dumb question of how wide a tire they can fit.

I almost forgot I did the complete opposite years ago [1981] by turning a 4x4 station wagon into a rally car that would smoke sports cars in the canyons in 1981..
No need to teach an old dog new tricks, ya just have to remind him he's been there done that before..

With such a capable car I wonder why 99.999% of people on this forum care more about 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times but to each their own, you bought you drive it however you like.
Mercedes has a very long history in Rally but most Americans do't even know what Rally Racing is, I do.

"dip", "fap", do you speak english ? I truly hope you are not speaking for all the automotive enthusiast on this forum.

Rally racing is often made up of different stages, tarmac, gravel, dirt and snow / ice...There are many different classes of cars, my own cars that I've posted are Group B.
They were an unlimited class just bound by a 200 car production run from each manufacture.
My own Ford RS200e was mid-engine AWD, 2,300 lbs producing 900 hp from a 2.1 ltr. engine. 0-60 1.8 seconds top speed 165 mph due to gearing.
It's time and distance with a navigator giving the driver road conditions in real time. The best drivers in the world are Rally drivers..period.
