Camber Corrective Bolts

I've lowered my w203 c230 coupe about 2" in the front and 2.5" in the rear. The negative camber is causing tire wear. I've read that K-MAC makes an adjustable camber kit, but some people said it was cheap. I don't want to spend that much either.

Does anyone know if camber corrective bolts work or not to adjust 2 degrees of camber? Where could I buy these bolts? Do I need to buy a full camber kit to adjust camber? Thanks.

Will these work? Will they not because W203 doesn't use a MacPherson suspension??

Camber corrective bolts work...I had the same problem of incorrect tire wear on the fronts then I added the bolts...no problems.

Does that mean that w203 uses a McPherson strut suspension? And what about crash bolts for the rear?
