Red, black, green, it doesn't matter much to me as long as they work as advertised. The price seems reasonable too .

The set you are looking at is baked enamel.

Here is the bone:

I am currently looking for dealers. Here is the deal. All dealer referals which purchase a minimum of 10 set purchase shall entitle the refering individual with a free camber set. The buisness has to use your name as the refering individual and indicate which forum the referal originated. Only one set per buisness based on a minimum order.

Those are SWEET! And only $150/set for MBShop members? Wow. So much for my K-MAC bushing order. One question - are the bushings an OE part, that could be replaced when they're worn?

A Couple Of Questions.......

1. What is the materials of construction for the arm itself?

2. Have you compared weight of the standard arm and your adjustable arm? How much difference?

The bushing is not an OE part and the OE arm doesn't have repalceable buhings either.

Is the bushing something that can be replaced by the user?
Is it based on a std format of some kind?

1) The material is steel.

2) They are heavier than the OEM arm.

The upgrade is not much different than adding bigger brakes, bigger wheels, etc...

The OE arm is pretty lightweight, actually. But I agree, in this case the ability to adjust camber and save the tires overrides the (minor) weight penalty. I'd be curious what the weight difference is but it wouldn't affect my purchase decision. I've pretty much scratched out "K-MAC" from my list or rear-end rebuild parts and penciled in the new MRP arms instead!

On a side note, I'm upgrading the brakes on my 124, and will end up with most of the various sizes in my hands at some point. I'll be weighing all the different calipers, rotors, pads, etc to see what the weight penalty is, since I'm curious about that stuff, and my diesel doesn't need more rotating mass to spin up!

Same here! Although the old ones are very high quality and durable, I really like the way the new ones adjust. I had to take a pipe wrench to adjust my old set.

Racer. Guido here. Count me in. I really need these. Remember back in Jan. I needed them. Well I have new tires.


So when ever you have them count me in for a set.

Also for alot of you guys asking questions about the OEM arms. all bones as I call them. Do not have interchangable bushings.
All you can do is repl them.



Also I can Spread the word. amongst my Mercedes Enthusiast friends southern calif.


They look great
