severe rear toe in
Just installed the Meyle Trailing arm Set (210-350-99-99-MY) on 2004 C320 Coupe & now the toe-in is ridiculous. Adjusting the cam bolts on the tie rods just brings it in even more.
It's so far off I cant even drive it to a shop for proper alignment. anyone have a link to a DIY walkthrough to help me find my error?

First compare the new parts to the old parts to make sure they are they same.

You were quite right. Pulled the new ones off the car & old ones out of the trash, and the tie rods were too short.
Every site that sells that kit says it will fit the w203 coupe, including Pelican Parts. The site that sold them to me (starts with e & ends with s ) are holding the replacements until the short ones make their way back to them, after admitting that they presented incorrect info on their site. Buyer Beware, & Be ready to do twice the work.

I get shipped wrong parts about 10-15% of the time regardless of where I buy them. One time I went to a store to buy an alternator and they handed it to me and I opened it and a dirty old core was inside. Then I went to the next store, they hand it to me, I open it, and the pulley is cracked... And those were the only 2 stores in town that had one! Always check your parts as much as possible before you start and during replacement. These things happen but the good suppliers will make it right.
