Camber adjustment
Cross posted in the AMG section.
My 2009 SL63 was on the alignment rack today. I had bought a control arm bolt kit from Pelican Parts so that the front camber could be adjusted. The alignment tech said that the bolts need eccentric washers but the bolt kits didn't come with them. I called P/P and they confirmed that none of the bolt kits they offer come with eccentric washers.
Do I need eccentric washers? If so, where can I get them?
Last question, where can I find the proper alignment specs?

Slotted bolts with regular washers, no eccentric washers. You also need a toe bar to properly align it and you must be at proper ride height. It sounds to me like you need to find a different alignment shop. This tech obviously does not know Mercedes.
