K-Mac Camber Kit experience?

Anyone have any experience with these? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options when it comes to adjusting our front camber, specifically for me, a 14' wagon.

Hi - To assist / when it comes to K-MAC options - it is a “TOTAL SYSTEM” !

Below is for W204 - but also for all model W212 exact same options (and pricing).

Only difference being “P/N’s”. Where you can obtain these on website !

I have on rear of my W212 sedan
Mechanic had few issues on install but email to kmac and they explained what we needed to do.

Mechanic did like how he could adjust camber now as before nothing he could do.
SO far so good after few thousand miles.

When my front Camber is out of whack and I am eating tires I will look at getting front kit so then car can have proper 4 wheel alignment.

The reviews on this forum seem to be a bit mixed over the years. K-MAC always responded that they made changes or offered product support so that's a positive. I've always been a bit nervous about being a testbed for development as that gets expensive quickly if you have to do it multiple times or the shops don't really understand how to do the installations. They have been around for some time and no business lasts that long without producing decent products so somebody must be buying. If they were not so expensive for what they are, I would have probably given them a go years ago. I've had good luck utilizing MB factory crash bolts to correct any alignment issues. I can see where these would be especially good on a lowered or raised vehicle. If you do try them, let us know your experiences good or bad.

I don’t think I saw it on the website, but with the front camber/caster top strut mount how much can the camber be adjusted?

Hi - Front Camber & Caster adjustable “Strut Tops” we manufacture in both Street / Race (STAGE 2) and Full Race (STAGE 3).

The unique patented design provides both the biggest adjustment range of any brand - and also the easiest / quickest to change settings. With no structural / tower mods necessary (see all the unique features on website).

While the front “lower arm bushes” replace the 4 major bushes. Providing also precise Camber and Caster adjustment (with more than twice the load bearing / impact area).

The forward facing (Caster) bushes are also “Mono ball / Self aligning”. Significantly improving Brake and Steering response.


SERIOUS (AND PRECISE) ADJUSTMENT:
LOWER ARM bushes - Up to 2 “extra” degrees Positive or Negative Camber (more than enough to resolve any excess edge, premature tire wear issues).

STRUT MOUNTS (recommend extra adjustment for Track days / Competition) - up to 3 “extra” degrees Negative Camber (dramatically reducing understeer in the pursuit of front row of the grid lap times) and 2 degrees Positive.

Don’t have them in hand yet, but ordered them for when I fit the KW HAS kit on. Their customer service is spot on especially through here.

Looking forward to dialing in the suspension.
