Anybody using camber plates? I can't stand the fact that the best you can do is even the camber out for the front end. I want to be able to independently adjust camber on both sides.

 

They're available for the TT but if they are for the A4 as well, I've never seen them. You could theoretically notch the strut bolt holes in the fenders and make your own but I don't know of anyone who has brought them to market. Stern makes adjustable upper control arms but they're big money (think I saw prices starting with "5" for those).

 

of if you have some fabbing skills, you can probably mod the upper strut mount and have it camber adjustable

 

Really, I can't believe nobody has an easier solution to this. Am I the only one dissatisfied with this design? Porsche uses the elongated holes at the top of the strut mount, so i guess i will have to use this method. I install the upper camber plates on porsche 944's all the time and the 911's have the elongated whole stock. How are people changing camber when they go with a different suspension set up, i.e. lower? The lower you go the more negative camber we create and the stock setup will only allow us to even the sides not actually change the camber numbers. Unless I don't know a trick or im missing something, but my understanding was that all you can do is move the subframe from left to right evening the sides out?

 

I was told that the way camber is set is a static setting - when the upper control arms are installed, they're supposed to be placed at a certain angle and then the bolts get torqued. The loading of the suspension when the car is set down then positions the wheels and determines the camber. If that's the case, you could change the angle between the arms and the upper strut plate where they mount in order to change the camber. It'd be tedious and take lot of trial and error but it could be done. Notched strut bolt holes and/or a camber plate would be much easier and more precise from side to side.

 

adjustable upper control arms are the way to go
