2016 E63 AMGs Wagon
Lowering and alignment
Hello everyone,
I have a 2016 E63 AMGs Wagon 4matic and I lowered with HR springs few months ago and got it aligned 2 weeks after but the car still veered very slightly to the right. I was told by the alignment shop the camber can't be adjusted? any suggestions on what to do? as well, I think the HR is a bit too low, is there any way I and increase the height a bit with paddings (I had a w210 E55 and was able to adj. the vehicle ride height with suspension pads)?
thanks for your help!!

Sorry, I can't help you, but would you mind posting before and after pics of your wagon? I've been on the fence on whether I should lower my wagon.

I have had no issues with pulling to one side with KW lowering. Front camber really wasn;t affected much. Rear on the other hand is pretty out of wack, and chewing tires up pretty good. I tried UPD arms but they were too noisy for my liking. I am going to try KMAC bushings for the rear to get some positive camber back and not have to replace rears very 5K

I have them the guy who owns the shop that installed them and did the alignment was impressed with them he was able to get the alignment back to stock I'm lowered on H&R Links in back.

Off center bushings are always going to give you less compliance and a harsher ride (by design). KMAC does camber plates that give you lots of adjustability for the same approximate price - under $500 US and maybe 1-2 hours to install, plus an alignment of course. Just MHO of course.
