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!!

no MBs at the moment :(
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.

This was taken 2 weeks after lowering the car, I think the front sits a tad lower right now.

Unfortunately you cant increase the ride height.
From what I have seen most MB veer to the right.

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

They only offer minimal adjustment. Might be enough if only slightly lowered...

I have a set of the bushings but haven't been able to find the time to get them installed. Let me know what you think if you beat me to it.

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.
