Front alignment after lowering
I just got a 98 SL500 and lowered it with H&R springs, the camber in the rear came at -2 degrees and -1.8 but the front can only be adjusted to -1.7 degrees on both wheels the factory angle is -.7 is there a way to remedy this?

We saw the need and manufacture a front Camber and Caster adjuster kit to suit the R129 (and also C124 and W201) model.
It doubles the existing adjustment range of both Camber and Caster with the added bonus of replacing the 4 highest wearing front end suspension bushes at the same time.
Kit comes with bush extraction tools and instruction sheet.
For the rear (only Toe adjustment OEM) we manufacture a Camber adjuster kit with also extra Toe adjustment to cater for this new Camber facility.
Both front and rear kits are precisely adjustable. Single wrench accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack.
It means you can now precisely adjust to resolve steering pull, inner edge tirewear, altering height, fitting wide profile tires/wheels or for curb knock damage.
Front Kit P/N 501716 $380
Rear kit P/N 502026 $320
Current promotion for MB World members USA/Canada delivery - $30 one kit or $40 front and rear (normally $70 one kit, $80 front and rear). Can pay by Visa, MasterCard or PayPal.
