Group Buy - K-Mac Camber Kits




With some of the best suspension talent in the industry, K-Mac has been researching, designing, testing and manufacturing bolt on camber, caster and toe adjustment kits since the early 1970's.
The kits reduce uneven, premature tire wear, improve traction and high speed directional stability, plus allow ongoing adjustment for curb knocks or race settings.

The majority of car manufacturers have deleted adjustment capabilities for camber and caster, making after market products like K-Mac's Camber & Caster Kits necessary. K-Mac has designed and manufactured aftermarket suspension since 1964. They have revolutionized the alignment industry, by setting new standards with unique "Bolt-On" kits to simplify installation and adjustment, and maintain a large range for adjustments.

MERCEDES Front & Rear Camber Kits including applications for the W204, W211, W212, W219 and W218 chassis.

Front Kits -

Rear Kits -
http://www.k-mac.com/pages/newprods/...ercedes_04.htm


As a K-Mac dealer - Advance Peformance has arranged some discounted shipping to help bring these kits into the US. We have hands on experience with these kits. Normally if you order direct from K-Mac the shipping cost on a single kit would be $75-$90. If we secure 10 orders at a time we can offer flat rate shipping of $14.95.

For example, for a single kit ordered direct from K-Mac for a rear camber kit priced at $320 plus $90 shipping = $410. Through this group buy the same kit would be $320 plus $14.95 = $334.95 to your door. This is roughly a $75 savings to you.

Pricing and specs can be viewed directly on K-Mac's webiste using the links above. We need 10 buyers to bring these in at the reduced shipping rate. Once 10 orders are paid/secured we will place the order with K-Mac.

Orders -
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

Any questions or concerns let me know.

There are front and rear kits if the application allows for it. The W211 has front and rear. The pics of the actual kits are also there on K-Macs website. I have some better photos of a kit we have here in stock if that is what you are needing.

We are located in Tampa, FL. K-Mac is out of Australia (where the shipping cost issue comes into play).

Click the link "click here for rear link kits" on their webisite and it will show the rear applications as well. http://www.k-mac.com/pages/newprods/...ercedes_05.htm

Let me know if you have more questions.

I have the front K-Mac camber kit for My W202 C43 and it is AWESOME. Easy to install and adjust.

They aren't kidding on the shipping coming from Australia, these kits are HEAVY and the shipping cost reflects that.

Definitely worth every penny

I'm interested in the R170 front camber bushings too. Sent me a quote with shipping to 00979. I almost purchased direct from K-Mac last year but the shipping made me pause.

The prices are the same as listed on K-Mac's website. The savings we are able to pass along is in the shipping. Price listed plus $14.95 shipping instead of the $80-$75 shipping if you ordered on your own.

I will PM all interested though to confirm.

503C43 ////AMG , thanks for the comments and help pointing out the part # info. We have also had very positive feedback from our local customers who purchased and had us install the kits with our complete alignment service.

Prices are listed on K-Mac's website. Flat rate shipping is $14.95. Let me know if you want to add you to the list. I will follow up for payment once we have 10 kits/orders.

As quick as we can collect payments. From there it is just shipping time to the US which would be about 3-4 days. Then they ship to you once we receive them.

We need to start filling up the list first , want me to add you?

I don't want to start a row here, but is anyone familiar with SPC Performance?

http://www.spcperformance.com/

They do make some kits like this, but not all. And not mine (R170).

I've spoken to them and if there is enough interest, they will engineer anything.

I need a rear camber/toe kit for a non-airmatic W211. It wasn't clear from their website whether they offer a kit for both airmatic and non-airmatic W211. Can you verify the difference between part#s 502526 and 502726? Is one newer than the other? I had emailed KMAC, but they never responded. Will know this weekend how bad my camber is and whether I can order or not.

Also, can you tell me which bushings are replaced using this kit?

We also deal with SPC but unfortunately the kits they offer are mostly for the older models. The applications we are targeting with these posts are more of the newer models which K-Mac seems to be the only game in town right now.

For an airmatic rear on the w211 the part # is #502526-1 J . the NON airmatic part # is #502526 J. I am not seeing part #502726 on their website currently.

Where did you get that part #?

Are these camber kits something you can install on your own? My main concern is I'm having some rubbing in the rear, correcting my camber would probably just make it worst. Anyone have this on their w221?

Thx! Don't know why they couldn't make it clearer or respond with a simple answer. I got the other part# from here. Was wondering if there was something newer for the non-airmatic.

Do these get installed on the lower control arm (center) or upper (camber strut guide)?

Most of these kits install in the lower control arm at the inner bushing position.

I contacted them to inquire as well, and mentioned to the tech the options available to Mercedes owners is limited. The tech actually had very positive remarks about K-MAC and highly recommended them, if SPC had nothing to satisfy my needs. Good to know.

sounds like you might need to get your fenders rolled a little to help avoid rubbing.
