Has anyone successfully aligned the car within factory spec after lowering it ~15mm without installing adjustable upper arm?

 

You won't be able to adjust the camber much at all.

best you can do is neutralize the toe to help stop it from eating the inner parts of the tire more.

 

This. The toe really eats the tire badly, but I ended up installing arms. You also need to get a VERY good alignment from someone that knows what they're doing when it's lowered, arms or not. Do not trust your dealer to do it.

 

I typically lower cars , drive maybe half-full tank of gas then put it on the alignment machine.

 

15mm isn't much and don't think you need to worry about the camber. More so the toe to ensure all is within spec.

 

With Today’s models having no Front Camber (or Caster) and no Rear Camber.....

It’s all to do with cost cutting and ever increasing speed of new car assembly lines - we saw the need to re instate and manufacture once again both Front and Rear kits to suit all model Mercedes Benz to 2023.

W213 E43-63 AMG
Camber Adjustment FRONT #503416-1i $345 (Both Sides).
Less cost then 1 hi-performance tire.

Camber (and Extra Toe) REAR #502326-1K $480 (Both Sides).

Both above Inner arm kits designed to be fitted on car without need for arm removal !

Unique patented design allows precise single wrench adjustment (accurately under load - direct on alignment rack).

Front kit including Caster adjustment also manufactured #503416K $480 (Both Sides).



ALLOWING TO FIX IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME - “Ongoing” adjustment capability for curb knock damage, high cambered roads with excess passenger side edge wear. Wheel squat through load carrying or lowering etc.

NO MORE GOING FROM ONE DEALER OR ALIGN SHOP TO THE NEXT or constantly changing tire brands.

RESOLVING COSTLY / PREMATURE EXCESS EDGE TIRE WEAR (or track days ability to dial in extra negative Camber in the pursuit of Front row of the grid lap times).

Delivery $40 one kit $60 Front & Rear

NOTE: Also manufacture front and rear upper arm kits but require time consuming arm removal and reduce important clearance “Top of tire to outer fender” when wanting to resolve premature inner edge wear !

Definitely a good option if you are running more than -2.5 camber both front and rear.
