Default Rear Control Arm Eccentric Bolt Kit

Does anyone know if the Mercedes 1403501170 rear control arm eccentric bolt kit or the Febi 06619 will fit on a Crossfire ? It's listed to fit a Mercedes SLK32 which is basically the same suspension as the Crossfire. It would be a cheaper alternative for those who need just a slight adjustment in camber. I've searched and can't find any info on it.

Most here have gone with the DIY rear camber links from Speedway Racing for < $100.

If they fit an SLK320 or 32amg they will fit our cars.
I wish i had known about these eccentric bolts for the rear .

I looked up a set of these bolts on eBay and funny thing, it said they would fit our Crossfires, but would NOT fit a 2004 SLK320 - I'm confused !
Even if you got them, it appears you would have to press out the OEM bushings on the camber arms to use them, and that is no easy task !

It looks to work in the same way the front camber bolts work. No need to fool with bushings just remove old bolts and install the new eccentric bolts.

I emailed Bilstein yesterday about the usage of the Eccentric Bolt kit and their response was , febi 06619 is a Eccentric Bolt kit with leveling disc and nut to mount and to adjust the (Track) rear control arm. If I'm not mistaken the Track Bar adjust caster and camber. Can anyone confirm this. I've emailed them again just waiting on a reply.
