lowering via das - problem

Cls55 was lowered exactly one inch on all for wheels viastar diagnostic. Looks good, however, this resulted into negative camber on the rear wheels. Can anyone provide a possible to this problem? Maybe one inch is too much?

thanks.

Anytime you lower a car you WILL have to realign the car. The camber is not adjustable in the rear so You May want to purchase a set of adjustable camber bars..Several companies make them and they do in fact work!
I Have them and there is no longer a negative rear camber problem..Tire wear is now even.

CLS Lowering Carlsson C-tronic

The fellow is right, you get that CL too low it throws the entire suspension out alignment. Unless you really just want to get radical with lowering your CL, the Carlsson C-Tronic lowering is module is the way to go. Comes with remote control and is adjustable on the go plus each corner is independantly adjustable. Lowers the car 30mm. Built in safety sensor. You hit rough road unit defaults to stock height to prevent road damage to underside of chassis.

Want straight talk about lowering your MB contact Carlsson's Jean Claude Ratte email jcr2439@aol.com
