I just recently put Koni Springs on my 2000 C230 K and the rear camber is off 2 degrees. I looked up a company called K-Max that makes a kit to fit Mercedes to add Camber adjustment. Anyone have any experience good/bad regarding this kit? Any other suggestions?

I have the thickest spring shims on the car, it is a few millimeters lower than I prefer, so if there are any suggestions for raising a little more, maybe that would straighten out the camber issue.

 

Correction: The company is called K-Mac, not K-Max. Sorry for the incorrect information.

 

For those that care.

I just put the K-Mac rear camber adjustment kit and it works GREAT!!!

I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to have camber adjustment for the rear. They also make a front kit. I bought mine at a discount from www.shox.com, but had to call them for pricing. I saved about $100 from them...

Since I lowered my c230K, it had a -2 degree offset. I changed it -1.5, even though the factory is supposed to be at -1 degree. VERY sturdy bolt.

 

Hi, do you have shox.com phone number?

 

We do carry K-MAC camber kits for Mercedes.

From my memory, they sold the kit for my car for about $100 less than the list price.

One reminder, us plenty of the white teflon grease. I wish they would use the black rubber bushings instead of the red ones. They use bushings from Energy Suspension, so if you want to use the black bushings, you have to get the camber kit first and then call Energy Suspension and give them the part number on the red bushings and hopefully they can give you the number for the black bushings, but you have to pay for those extra. Why K-Mac doesn't use the black bushings is beyond me. I switched my Eibach sway bar bushings to the black bushings and they don't squeak....
