E63 lower on one side after links installed

I had my car lowered H&R springs in the front and links in the rear and the car sits lower on the passenger side by about a 1/4 inch anyone else have this problem?

Also they couldn't get the alignment back to spec they suggested a camber kit or I would have the inside tires wear out long before the outside. Has anyone installed something to fix this?

Thanks.

I am sure you can simply adjust it out especially with the rear links.

Note 1mm change in height on the link can equal a whole quarter inch ride height change

had the exact same experience, you need to buy a camber kit if you don't want to wear out your tires. I put my car back to stock huge waste of time

i've lowered mine the same was you have, OP.

Most likely the shop needs to tinker with the length of the rear links to get them to where you'd like the car to sit.

Sadly yes camber is an issue. I'd like a camber kit, but then again, tyres get replaced every year anyway, so I'm not overly bothered tbh.

Hi! when you change you tires every year how many miles or kilometers has that been?

Around 10k on the back tyres now and my AD08R's are now on the wear markers. Replacing them next week. The fronts are at around 5mm now.

I notice sometimes after driving, when I put the car in the garage one of the rear sides will be higher than the other.
After reading your post I went out to the garage and yes the passenger rear side was higher than the left. I started
the car put it in comfort then back to sport 1. Car leveled itself out. Maybe give that a shot. Also I have the KW height
adjustable kit which I like very much.
