take it you had the car re-aligned after installing the springs? Sometimes after lowering you need to adjust the alignment settings as it changes suspension geometry.
Where is your excessive wear at?

Front tires are fine here. Rear tires are wearing a little more on the inside edge. However, SLK55 has never been easy on the rear tires anyway.
Here's a fix for the front... https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...t=front+fender

Lowering
2 inches can take near perfect -.5 rear camber down to tire wearing -3 degrees.
front and rear camber kits from k-mac or custom coil overs can get it into spec.
Have fun after all it is only money

lensolo and speedybenz may make a link bar also.

Im a little confused here sorry. I just got my new 19s and I have H&R springs about to be installed with #1 spring pads what else are you saying I need to install to prevent negative things happening to my car?
