I lowered my 01 1.8tq with V-maxx coilovers a couple weeks ago. I've been noticing lately that my camber is becoming more and more out of whack. It was extremely noticeable when I had my buddy drive my car and I drove behind him so I could see for myself. I took a look under the car to look at the rear tires and I wanted to cry. The inner part of the tire is really worn and the outer looks brand new! I've been looking around and I can't find anything that can fix this. If I can't get it fixed, I'm gonna have to throw back on the monster truck suspension. Anybody have any suggestions on what to do at this point? I know I am going to have to buy new tires, so that's covered, but I want to fix the problem first. Would new control arms help? Did I put the suspension back together wrong for it to be so out of whack and cause tire-wear so quickly? Is there a camber correction kit for the B5? The front's are nearly as bad as the rears. Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, here's a pic of my car and how low I dropped it. These were taken about 2 days after it was lowered. I'm not rubbing and I wouldn't consider it slammed either...

 

mine is about as low as yours, is it 1.5?

 

Hmmm... I'm about about 24" gtf and haven't had any problems like that. However I'm on stock 7" wide wheels and yours I'm assuming are 18x8. The extra one inch may play a part in the horrible tire wear. I'm too lazy to explain why I think it may be a problem haha.

 

i have the same issue with the rear. When i took it for alignment, they said my rear driver's camber was ok, but the passenger rear was off and set as close to spec. Im gonna take it to an audi specialist shop that does alignment and hope they can get it fixed.

 

So they can correct camber at alignment shops?

 

they can correct camber in the rear easily. the front needs subframe shifting though

 

the last shop i went too, the guy said he couldnt align the camber like the other side, so right now my passenger rear will wear unevenly faster than my driver side rear. in fact, when there was snow in the ground, my car was swaying dangerously when i reach higher speeds.

i've heard of adjusting the subframe for the front so it evens out the camber on both sides though.

 

Is it possible for me to adjust the camber in the rear myself? I looked for a write-up but I couldnt find one for a b5. Does anyone know what I would need to do or what I'm looking for?

 

You can but it'll likely be imprecise. Check your PM.

 

Did you not get it aligned after the CO install? You should have.
