COILOVER

hi i am planning to buy coilover for my 01 clk 430. and my question is if i get coilover it doesnt require me to get camber kit because some of my friend told me that coilover come with camber kit and you can adjust the camber from there? please advise. i was planting to get the one below. pretty good price, either that or the Ksport coilover. thanks

You would want to get an alignment for sure once you lower your car. Some coil over kits come with camber plates to adjust your camber but some dont. You would have to contact the company to and ask them if they come with camber plates for our car, most likely not though. So I would advise you to go to an alignment shop and have it done once you put the kit on.

You're not thinking straight if you're going to be running D2 or K-Sport on anything other than an import. Just forewarning, price is great, but quality is well... yeah. K-Sport blow out in 6 months and D2 has issues. Go Bilstein, H&R, or KW.

K sport I've had and known people who bought for price and just save money. They will blow out and the only savings you'll have are initial purchase. Once you replace them you could have just bought a quality set from the beginning.


And yes d2 is for hondas.

Chrislis is correct, stick with H&R/Bilstein/KW. The money you save now on the cheaper kits will only come back to haunt you. Buy quality! Also you are going to need a camber kit with the coil overs. I haven't seen any coilovers for MB with a camber kit.
