Quick question for others who have this mod. Does anyone know if there are shims or camber plates available to adjust for the camber change from the drop? The installer said he was going to look for some and that I had a little bit of camber change even after the alignment for the drop that would give me some inside accelerated tire wear. He said that other brands typically have after market solutions to adjust for this (my shop does mostly BMW work).

The attached thumbnail is post lowering. The picture in my signature line is pre lowering. I will try to get some better shots during the day tomorrow. Close ups will give you a better idea of what the 20 mm drop looks like. I can't see going lower than 20mm if you live in the northeast given road conditions but if I lived in cali or south Florida I would be slammed like Vic's car.

On the tire wear, looks like there was a camber kit for the C219 CLS available from several companies...hopefully there will be one coming out for the C218 as well.
As long as I can get at least 6K miles out of my rear tires I can handle the negative camber. It improves handling anyhow even if it shreds tires.

Well by Philly/NYC standards you would be slammed or at least when you hit your first pothole.
