They only speak of on the Eibachs.

I dont have one and my tires seem to wearing evenly.

i have the eibachs tires are wearing even

got rice?

neither the Eibachs nor the H&R require camber correction kits. The drop is not drastic enough to warrant their need.

See, I'm very picky when I ever change anything on my car. I just want to make sure I'm doign all I can do to make sure everything is ok.

the only reason you would need a camber kit is if you went with the coilovers

only if you get coilovers and drop the vehicle more than ~ 2 inches.

You can use coilovers and drop it 1-1.5" and not need the camber correction kit.

camber as a stock OEM setting..that causes the tires to wear on the outside edge more than the inside edge, dropping the car slightlu with either Eibachs or H&Rs creates a more neutral camber setting for the front tires.

Indeed, the camber setting goes slightly negative-which is good for overall handling and tire wear since the slightly negative camber offsets the correct toe-in...bottom line you'll get much BETTER tire wear after dropping the car slightly.

Yes, Tokico is advertising the adjustable as a spring release.....Those are mine!!!

how do u like the tokicos compared to the stock setup

The Maxes have positive camber as a stock OEM setting..that causes the tires to wear on the outside edge more than the inside edge, dropping the car slightlu with either Eibachs or H&Rs creates a more neutral camber setting for the front tires.
I'll have to measure this since I don't have a shop manual for mine yet. Note that it might be possible for SE's to have a slightly different spec than GLE's as part of the slightly greater emphasis on 'sport'.

Indeed, the camber setting goes slightly negative-which is good for overall handling and tire wear since the slightly negative camber offsets the correct toe-in...bottom line you'll get much BETTER tire wear after dropping the car slightly.
With a MacPherson/Chapman strut type of suspension wheel camber goes negative in pure bump (like when you get on the brakes) but not in roll. Chassis roll in a corner puts the outside wheel in positive camber. Many strut-suspended cars actually have a small negative static camber setting as OE.
