I did this modification to my W210 diesel with great results. I cut the front ones 3/4 turn and the rear, 1/2 turn - no more than that. Play with the rubber pads because they offer various heights for different applications. I also changed the shocks to bilstein sport and the car behaves very well. Obviously, a 4 wheel align is a must. I didn't need a camber kit of any sort.
