There is no way to adjust the camber on the rear after you cut the spring or purchase new ones. Mercedes didn't want anyone messing with their suspension so they never gave you the option of adjusting it. In order to do so, you have to purchase a camber adjustment kit which will run you around 300 bucks. I found this out the hard way. I now have a bad steering wheel vibration and a loud hum coming from my rear wheels. Wish I would have known about this issue before dropping my car.

Anyone else having this same issue but choosing to ignore it?
I have cut my springs front and rear (original MB slk32AMG) springs resp. 3/8 and 5/8 coil in combination with Bilstein B8 on standard original 17inch AMG rims, ir rides great but firm and there are no problems whatsoever with camber adjustment. Last week I drove it almost to its max speed on the Autobahn 280kmh.
