Well I would need 4 because I don't have any at all. However, I don't know for sure which ones I'll need. My wheels come in two hub options: 73mm and 67.1

I'll have to measure in the morning and see which I've got.

Jake, Scott came over and we did my camber & toe adjustments....The fronts weren't off very much. But the rears were definitely in need of some negative camber and we set the toe in just barely.

Scott thinks it should be baller.

Believe it or not the only vehicles in there that were non mercedes all some how belong to ilya lolz...he worked on my tires and in the corner up on a lift he has a 350z that he is doing a motor swap. I guess being a veteran employee has some kick *** benefits lolz. You should have seen his tire setup he had. Badd as$ hunter road force machines and mounting setup was all automated. Mercedes has some badd a$$ equipment..amazing shop and extremely clean along with organized. Ilya knows his shizzz and is respected by all his co workers. Young guy but lots of talent and sky is the limit...

Edit: So much win going through the Mercedes car wash in the infiniti and getting it detailed as well. Needed that badly and was nice to have it all taken care of (THANKS BRAH). Inspected the body and found no hail damage from the recent tornado.
