M.B.Doc HELP ...I am ordering the H&R lowering springs for my 94 E500, which lowers the front 1.25" and rear 1". What should the new alignment specs be and will I require new parts to adjust the rear camber?

ALSO ...does anyone have experience with lowering the E500/500E while running 10" rear rims (ET 20). This size does not rub at stock height but I am concerned they may when lowered 1"?

Dean, the Camber is the only item that should change. I would try for -1deg(negative) in the front, and -1.5deg in the rear. If the front wont adjust that much then -1.5 is the limit or you will have tire wear. You may need the K-Mac camber correction bushings for the rear. Different springs give different results, so wait & see!

Sage advice Doc...I will wait until the springs are installed and the camber changes are known.

IF I need to adjust the rear camber, which product would be best - the K-MAC adjustable suspension camber mounts ($276) OR the Delsing adjustable camber arms ($295) OR the Renntech adjustable rear camber and toe bushings ($495)?

Dean, the RennTech pieces require drilling of the subframe mounts for installation. This is pretty much a one way, non-reversible conversion. The Delsing parts look to be considerably larger diameter than the stock pieces. They may not work with your 10" rims. My solution is similar to the RennTech but with higher quality rod ends and links. It does not require removal nor modification of the subframe.
