Default RE: Camber Kits

The rear camber has a factory (slight) adjustment, and the front has none.

But almost everyone here is running lowered with some negative camber in the front, and it actually helps these cars handle tremendously. Have not heard of anyone having problems with tire wear either. I have not had any abnormal wear, and I think the shop that did mine said I had somewhere between -1.0 to -1.5deg of camber on the front. I have the printout somewhere with the specs, but regardless, on the a4, a little neg camber on the front is actually a plus, not a problem.

A 2 inch drop alot of times will not affect camber enough to make it "out of factory spec". You usually have .5 to .75 of a degree from perfect that is acceptable and as long as the camber is equal from one side to the other you will not notice tire wear because you are still in the acceptable range. The camber one an a4 is adusted by loosening the subframe bolts and shifting the subframe from one side to the other. A camber kit would be unnecessary on a 2 inch drop (I do not have a camber kit in my car and have no problems) but can be purchased from K-mac.

Most people do not need them unless they are running coilovers at a 3 inch drop or more.
