Alignment on '03 E500 (W211)
lowered my '03 E500 sport via new links on the front, and relocating the sensor on the rear. The car is lowered about 2" all around. I had a camber kit installed on the front, realigned at Topline Automobile in Burlingame, CA.
Final specs of the alignment: Front -2.5 degrees camber, Rear -3 degrees. This was the best Topline could do.
My tires just lasted 10,000 miles (Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S). The inner edge was completely shot.
Is there any other method or shop to get the alignment within factory specs (closer to -1 degree) in the Bay Area? When I had my Honda, a suspension shop "bent" the knuckles to get my car within factory specs. Could something similar be done to the Airmatic setup?
What are all you doing out there? Those of you who are riding on a lowered supspension? Any help would be appreciated!
