Thanks bro. I think the last time we seen each other was at the Weistec meet. At the time, I was still rocking my black Forgestars.

I swore the W211 section had a "Spotted Thread" somewhere.

Anyways... saw a black W211 E63 on the freeway in Huntington Beach with what i think was an Eisenmann exhaust setup. Sounded nice.

I don't recall if I've seen the car on the forum, but it was modded.
I was in the wife's Audi and the driver saw me snap a picture of his car at the exit. LMAO. Probably thought I was a weirdo.

Sorry for the picture quality.

Its a lot but I am not worried about camber as much as toe which was down to about .8 in vs over 2+ where I have a feeling it was.

Before and after...





Much better....

You'll be worrying about that front camber when you start eating through tires.

To some extent. Toe eats tires more than camber does. I would say I should get uneven wear, but not "eat" through them with a proper alignment. I think most people lower but don't dial out the toe to compensate.
