2003 quattro w/sport suspension
So I lowered my car with some vogtland springs, advertised as a 1.4 inch drop. replaced oem shocks with billstein HD's. Car drives awesome. When I took it in for alignment, the spec for the front is -1.2 to -0.4 degrees. the front left is at -1.0 but the front right wont go past -1.5. Has anyone used a camber kit on an A4 they can recommend? I have seen some online but dont recognize the manufacturers name and dont want to drop $250 on crap. this is the best looking kit I have found:
http://www.k-mac.com.au/ I was advised by the alignment tech to wait a few weeks and keep an eye on tire wear, and bring it back for a realignment under their warranty. He said the suspension may "settle" some more and they could get it into spec, before buying the camber kit.

haha... i dont know anyone running kmacs but they are difficult to adjust since they have to be pressed in, you used to be able to get some adjustable control arms but they stopped making them, get used to buying tires lol!
PS mike@purems has something in the works for us supposedly but i dont know about price... the CPP adjustable control arms were $700

:( thanks ill figure something out. Ill probably go with kmac and just pay someone to adjust it. cheaper than destorying gforce tires.
well i am going to switch to 18" wheels which will raise the car 1/2", which may bring it into spec.

i used to have gforces.. i liked them a lot.. i have nitto neogens now which are holding up much better to the lowering
i cant find anyone that knows how to install/adjust the kmacs....
if you raise it, it help the camer a lot.. i want to raise mine about 1/2 as well but dont want to pull the rear subframe to adjust my stasis

kmacs should be just like a bushing replacement, even big O should be able to do it. might be better to spend more on labor at a vw/eu/german shop.
