Your answer, lol.
I ordered a set for myself and the timing couldn't be better as I'm running -2.5 on the rear camber. As you have seen the parts in person what are your thoughts on corrosion or corrosion protection?

Does anyone have the proper alignment specs for our cars?

Kmac also have adjustable bushes for the rears. This does away with adjustable rear camber arms
Camber arms for the rear from Kmac is not too good. I got it for my C280. Need some more adjustment.Kmac also have adjustable bushes for the rears. This does away with adjustable rear camber arms

I installed a set of K-Mac front adjustable bushings on my old C280 when my friend owned it. It provided decent adjustability for camber and caster. As far as I know one of the only solutions right now. Beware if you attempt this without a press, it can be a pain in the ass. I was able to do it with a huge vise (after I broke a smaller one) to press the bushings in.

So I got all the parts the other day and assembled the arms. Just so I can allocate enough time to swap these out.....anyone know if I need to remove rear springs?

The spring doesn't need to be removed. Just remove the tire, unbolt the old arm, measure and reinstall. Post some pics.

Perfect, thanks for the information. I assume if I adjust the length at this time toe will be changed right?

No, toe will not be altered. These are camber arms.

So I see a problem with the install,
There is another arm to the upper part of the spindle, if you adjust the center upper arm the spindle will toe in.
do you think it would be safe to turn the toe arm into an adjustable arm as well? or does it already have adjustment capability ?
The toe arm is factory adjustable. No need to even mess with that arm, leave it alone.

So this arm is adjustable?
Well the numbers don't lie, Got an alignment today and the camber is back to -.5 from -2.7 deg.
Kudos!
Glad to hear
Not only did save money on the camber kit but you saved money not having to buy tires as often.

Amen! now we got figure out a way to correct the front camber.
You really don't need to correct the front camber. It's just a waste of money.

The front is almost equally as bad as the rear.
change the toe to offset the negative camber wear on the inside.
202brabus, do you think this method will work for the fronts??
I highly doubt it. Your car would handle WORSE and eat up tires Waaaay faster

What specific tools are needed for this install? The outboard bolt is a 12-point socket cap bolt. Can I use a hex bit on this?
