Smile Installed 20mm Rear spacers with pics

I ended up getting a set of spacers, because im not buying wheels for at least 2 months or so yet, and ill probably run them with the new ones.

The stock setup on the a4 the wheels are inside the fenders, and i wanted a more flush and wider track look, so i got 20mm spacers.

I ended up getting them on ebay for $73. The ones i got are great quality and i will be getting 20mm's for the front also now that i know they are a good product. They also came with 10 extended lug bolts.

Onto the pictures:

Is it just me or do you have + camber in the rear?

And it needs some low to make it look good, but an improvement.

Yea im planning to take it lower eventually, i have the sport package so its lower anyways. Next up is im ordering rear rotors, and then i need ceramic pads all around and stainless lines to install my a8 setup, also need to get spacers for the front yet, after that is frankenturbo most likely.

And about the camber, my alignment is slighty out of spec but im not doing anything yet because im still figuring out everything that im gonna be running and all. And i think its the ground its on or just the angles, yeah the front has more negative camber, but there rear is not positive, i think its either slightly negative or close to none. The spacers may give it that appearance more.

Edit: Heres another pic, you can see the rear is still slightly bent.

Looks good! I wonder how running spacers such as these effects the longevity of the rear wheel bearings.
