Default adjustable upper control arms..?

I have a 2000 B5 S4 and I'm looking for adjustable upper control arms.

Does anyone make them? I google'd and searched around, found some place talking about them but no prices or brands, kind of surprized that I couldn't find any. I could make them out ofchromoly tube and adjustable treaded rod ends... What do people use to adjust camber, is there another solution? camber plates?

Thanks,

Shawn

The front camber from what I've seen and heard isn't adjustable. Well not individually at least.
So it sounds like you may have a pretty good idea here.

It explains how to adjust it.

Just found this http://www.audiworld.com/reviews/sus...n/susp07.shtml
Apparently Vast does or did make these.

RED - thanks, the link here is sick. I can't believe that Audi designed it to be adjustable via moving the entire engine craddle/subframe.

Vast doesn't make them, they are talking about the CPP brand. I know about the CPP ones, Iwas hoping for another alternative, because thefrontis 800 bucks and the rear is 650 bucks. I'll have to see how bad/quick I roast the tires, verses the cost of those suckers. I can probably make them forcertainly less than50% of the cost to buy them,I not sure if I would do aluminiumor chromoly, the weight difference would be slim.

AWE used to have the CPP adjustable upper ctrl arms , right now they only have the rear though. I assume they're sold out at the moment, they still have a picture of the front ones in the description...

Anyway the rear is less that $350 and i believe the front was like $500... those prices you have seem high....

AWE (http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shar...p;IL=CPPAdjust) is/was better priced than achtuning (http://shop.achtuning.com/index.asp?...amp;ProdID=276)

Actually I contacted AWE and they said that CPP went out of business andat the time they have not found a comparable product.

That is why I'm asking around.

If you are going to spend the $$, get the CPP ones, & MAKE SURE you get the protective rubber boots!
http://achtuning.com/ sells the entire front & rear kits, but there not cheap!
