It will lower the car more than 2 inches front and rear....

how bad will the camber be...i know alot of honda's and such have camber bolts....what do i need....

or should i go with these

this one lowers it a little less than 2 inches....

I need you help... i am buying rims and suspension around christmas time....I wanna get my S#!T together!!! thanks!!!

 

yes your negative camber will be way out... your options are


1. find used CPP/STaSIS adjustable control arms since both companies stopped making them, (new were $550-$750) these also made noises and u had to keep them greased up, newer version had a rubber boot to keep grease in
2.Kmac camber bushings (camber plates wont fit a4 chassis) most installers have trouble with them since u have to install them, measure then tweak them... some said they wear out quickly
3.buy tires every 10-15k (the approach ive taken)

 

thats got to get $$ buying new tires every 15K, i didnt realize lowering like this kills camber so bad, i thought an alignjment and your golden... Hmmmm

 

I would just go with a set of springs from H&R. It will lower the car about 1.5". I'm going to do that in the next couple of weeks/months.

 

u dunno man, i lowered my car a good 2.5-3inches, and my camber didn't really chage, i mean yeah it went out a bit, but its still not bad, but then again B5 > B6 lol, no thats a lie both are great, but is the suspension set up really that different ont h two cars?

+1 for "3.buy tires every 10-15k (the approach ive taken) "

 

coilovers

and is it just me or are both those links the same thing?

 

they are not the same links... same company...different drop sizes....on drops like 2.4" and the other 1.7" I was just showing both to see which would be the best to be picked......??

 

if your lowering the suspension then the wheels have to be determined ( coil overs are great because they can be adjusted ) wheels and suspension? that needs consideration

 

well i am getting 18 x 8 rims....

 

this is a question i have been considering as well. i have seen some camber stuff on ebay....but it's ebay. good luck and keep us posted on what you find.
