Are these links any good?
Rubber bushing is it poly or stock rubber?

How much did they cost pair of toe and camber links?

They seem to be built well. They are hardened rubber, but they do have a pillow ball camber one also.

The people in the Honda and Nissan community seem to like them.

this set was 420ish shipped. Got here in 3 days. There is a Hardrace USA but they don’t carry the Mercedes links.

Aleksracing.com he also carries Ultra racing strut bars and braces.

I need to get camber adjustment links for my car. The -3 degrees camber is going to eat the new Continentals I put on. I also might be able to avoid putting spacers on with that camber corrected. Did you measure for that fan and just go by dimensions? I had thought about maybe adding an electric fan/deleting the clutch fan to free up the parasitic drain from it but also enhance cooling. I just hate how loud they are.

Yeah, but only a few hundred bucks more than buying one used.

Open the stock airbox and use a router and cut out the fins. File down the ends or sand it down. That will give you the extra breathing you need without spending crazy money. It's as good as the cf box from Renntech. Replace the stock filters with the AFE washable filters. That will help your engine breathe better. Also, check out the instagram page of @thecamberking and the website for your adjustable camber and other control arms. These are made here in the States and use Energy Suspension bushings. Not china made rubber and steel rods.

You ever dyno your E55 with the airbox, ams headers and pulley? Also I've seen a few sets of Camberkings arms, these seem to be way better quality!

Oh yeah, haha I sent you a message because I saw you bought yours from a member on here. I don't want to modify the box, I want the rare genuine parts and I like that I can get it new and have the records for it and the Kleemann stuff. I have seen camberkings and other offerings, I will hold off since I just got my alignment done anyway.

Renntech I will admit makes decent stuff. But everything I see from kleemann is junk. The headers on my car are kleeman and Chinese as they come.

I am getting custom long tunes made in July by ICengineering

I don't mind the headers they gave me, they do the job and the fit was spot on. The welds looked decent, so as long as they don't crack I'm fine with it for what I paid. I am not paying retail for any of these parts btw, which is why I don't really care as much either.

I bought my shortie headers some 9 years ago and its still going strong. Some company that's no longer in business called AMS. I also bought the aluminum pulley from them as a combo back then, It's still in the car LOL The exhaust does sound louder over time after you do the x-pipe and resonator and second cat delete.
Do remember to get better air filter when you get your airbox. AFE washables are the best I still have the original ones I bought after all these years.

I hadn’t realized AMS wasn’t really in business until I started looking for the crank pulley. I have the Kleemann headers to an x pipe and the amg muffler. It’s loud ish but the tone could be better with a supersprint. I wanted the Eisenmann but I think it might get too loud and raspy.

The plan is to get the Renntech airbox and put Afe dry filters in it.

Mine were my first Xmas bonus, vivid racing hooked us up. I am getting real headers made, one to see if they make anymore power on an NA car, also because I want to get a 113k ready and swap it at the end up the year.

Also in talks with Rennsport factory, to possibly get a set of the ITBs there are currently in the processing of making for 113 motors. Change me current ME2.8 to one from a 211, see if the ITBs can be tuned.

it would seem that a skilled CNC machinist could make a run of the pulleys if there was enough interest.

I had a chance to buy the Eisenmann race exhaust from this guy in New York about 5 years ago. I hesitate and he sold it. Never again will I see another used one, His is the only race W210 e55 eisenmann out there as far as I know. It's too expensive new. My exhaust sound loud now hence I don't need to pay crazy money for the upgrade.

We are building a new shop, and looks like we are 95% getting a CNC machine also. We will be making lots of random Mercedes parts in 2021
