So after lowering my car with the Amazon Module, my rear end was constantly searching for traction. It became super unstable - especially when only one wheel hits a bump, and the entire back end lags behind the front.
The only solution prior to these adjustable arms,
1. Adjust the stock setup - but adjustment is very limited
2. is a company (will not specifically call them out, as i do not have personal experience with them) that posts on this forum group frequently. I almost went with their kit, till i read a negative review from a fellow member here. https://mbworld.org/forums/gle63-gle...day-pic-3.html
I know that experiences can vary depending on installation as well. As much as i wanted to give this product the benefit of doubt - a quick search on other forums here strongly supported the above mentioned post.
Hence i decided to start searching around more, and actually came across a company called "The Camber King" - Formally known as "F-1 Fabrication". His price was super affordable for what you get, compared to the camber kit mentioned above, hence reached out, and had a set of REAR camber arms over-nighted.
The install was a BREEZE, and my ride has TOTALLY transformed. The shop was able to get my rear camber aligned to OEM Specs, and the car now feels more planted with greater amounts of traction. The darting previously mentioned in the rear end, has now moved over to the front... which is something i have requested the Camber King to produce for our ride. He estimates production end of this month, and i am eagerly waiting to get his front camber arms on my car.
So far, my experience has been fantastic, but of course on time will tell on durability - will report back.
Hi,
I just got a gle63 and lowerd the vehicle but man the rear looses traction. I had a ml63 lowerd and never did that.
Anyways I'm trying to get a rear camber adjustment but i dont see any listing for gle on the website you posted. Which one did you buy and how does it handle in this 2 years you had it.

Rear toe-in can also be a source of that behavior. When I got my neon green '74 Fiat X1/9 (one of the 1st in the country), the shop misread the toe-in specs and set it to 0.5 inches rather than 0.05 inches. When hitting a puddle or patch of ice, the car was really squirrelly and the rear tires were shot after 2000 miles. The shop corrected the toe-in, replaced the tires and all was well thereafter. (Kept the X1/9 for 35 years and sold it for more than I purchased it -- $4300.)
