You would be doing yourself a service by installing some camber arms.

You will never run your best time if cant get good contact to the ground. This is a true performance mod, and it shouldn't be over looked. This is truely where the rubber meets the road. great mod.
Have you also considered SpeedyBenz's toe-end links or Renntech's caster kit?

Getting the camber, caster and toe aligned properly would make it complete right?

I noticed in watching videos from this weekend that my car seemed to be burning the inside half in particular. A huge cloud of smoke formed under the car before it was visible elsewhere. is this a camber issue? The suspension is stock C63. Video is posted in the fastest 63 thread.

mbarts has adjustable toe links to compliment their adjustable camber arms and they should be used as a package/kit if anyone wants to get it right (you can't adjust camber without affecting toe). speedybenz is a waste of time and mbarts' stuff blows renntech's away.

oops. I just paid $325 for Speedy's kit including shipping. How much are yours MbARTs? I also ordered a set of KMACs for $359 + $13 shipping for a front camber and caster kit. I think I'm set now and will provide further feedback after they are all installed.

That makes me feel better for not paying $2500+ for the Renntech camber arms and toe links.

well, he was a waste of time cause he promised these parts to me well over a year ago and made me think they were only days away from being finished the whole time. as such, he still doesn't offer anything for the e55 which is why i said he was a waste of time. his stuff for the w210 and other models appeared to be fine. haven't heard much positive about the kmac bushings but let us know how you like them.

renntech doesn't use new camber arms to make camber adjustments. they just offer an offset bushing that helps reduce negative camber but is NOT adjustable.

I opened one of my X-mas gifts and behold it was your Cambar arms! Beautiful works of MB art. I expect them to peform just as well. I've got FD cambar arms on now and will compare your construction with Vadim's. If yours are better then I'll move Vadim's to the lower control arm and have yours serve as primary camber adjustment arms.
