Guys!! We moan and moan for a solution and when it comes, there is no interest? I feel like crap for pulling MBarts into the W211s thinking we wanted those things. It is a good thing the full investment wasn't made on the front A-arms.

I'm going to be purchasing a set later this month. I met your boy at Sacramento and the arms look really good...top notch. Really cool guy and I can't wait to get them on.

I've had them on my car for almost a year now. Makes a big difference.

Close but no cigar yet. Too much boost so MAF is WACK! No more belt slip due to extreme belt wrap but boost is too high now.

I plan on getting them, but when it's minus 40 and snowing for the next 3 months, i need to ride at stock height.

How much are they again?

my apologies jangy and mbarts. my car has been down with tuning issues for the past 3+ months which has caused me to put off painting and suspension mods...as well as miss 3 amg track events with friends. i've been so disgusted with this that i haven't even been here much in weeks. as soon as my car gets tuned properly i will get this done asap and give my feedback!

Thank you for the compliment. It was nice to talk to you in Sac, too bad we could'nt have enjoyed some serious racing that day.

I also saw them the same time as Alan and Mike and they are bad ***! I'm just not sure how they would help the car as I don't get that "wiggle" that everyone talks about I guess I don't make enough power

I didn't when I was stock but lately I have been when getting on it, unless it's just the tires spinning and making her shake her A to all the cars she is passing!

Well your reviews and posts you made about them were vague, hardly descriptive and basically terrible. Most people had not clue what you were talking about nor what the parts are supposed to do.

I will be racing with them tomorrow. My only problem is My car rubs a bit over bumps as is. I will be finishing the install today. Part of me thinks I might rub more one the camber is put back to spec. We will see though. Its nice to have the ability to adjust the camber though. Fear not though, I'm going to beat my fender to oblivion so I wont rub.

Jangy, I guess people dont mind smoking the insides of their tires. For me only using 25% of my tires when racing is not a good thing. Getting the camber back to spec is a must for me.

Also Big thanks to MBArts, When I need a product I needed it yesterday. If you know what I mean. He was able to overnight me the camber arms. They were in my hand less than 24 hours later! We will see what happens at the track.

I just installed my Camber Arms from MBArts. And it made a huge difference. I hope to go from no traction at Famoso to hooking like a SOB tomorrow.

For my Chassis they get my approval, Great product

I will be the first to say.. Thay helped get my 60ft times back in order. Rrom 1.80's and 1.90's at Famoso without camber arms. To 1.60's just the other day with camber arms. If you are lowered and race, chances are your camber is off. If you cant hook well even with slicks, or you're burning up the inside of your tires before the outside. 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.
