Negative camber helps in turns, but wears inside of your tires.

Some good racing tires, coilovers, - what the hell are you doing that you are worried about this

You want to really putthe power to the ground you can upgrade your Torsen center differential with a system like this http://www.stasisengineering.com/Cat...=88&PID=99

Out of curiosity has anyone ever used slicks with the quattro system?
Im just curious if it would throw it off.. Since its all mechanical I would assume no..

Im planning on putting hoosiers on some 15in tires when I get mine. I'll be using it for autox when my other cars are down...
Just curious if any other autoxers are on this board.. and have experience.. Maybe some tire preff's and what they like for camber and pressure....

I'll be probably going with full race coil overs as well. (seriously.. why not? its like 150 more than the bilsteins and lowering springs....)

Thanks
Andrew

I auto-x, not very seriously though, I'm a poor highschool student. There's actually an event I'm going to tomorrow to watch since my brakes are crapping out on me and I can't race.

From what I've read, just get some good coilovers, H-Sport sways, sticky tires, and a chip and you'll be pretty much set for autocrossing in the A4.

Doesn't the A4 come stock with sway bars? What's wrong with the oem units?

Aftermarket sway bars are thicker - more support
