Default Added springs, need camber adjustment?

I've got some springs on the way for my A6 and they're set up to drop the car 1.2". A friend with a TT had to add adjustable rear upper control arms to get the camber back in line from his drop. Do they A6's even have adjustable camber in the rear?

I'm pretty sure the A6 uses similar spindles to the A4, which means that at least in the rear, you'll have a little bit of camber adjustment with the outermost, bottom bolt on the spindle - it has an eccentric washer that butts up against a casting on the spindle and pushes the bottom of the wheel slightly out or in. There's not much adjustment there, but a little is possible. With your drop, you can probably dial the camber back just about to OEM spec. With race springs (2.5" drop or so) you're hopelessly low for the OEM bolt to adjust your camber, but on the springs you ordered, you'll probably be able to get very close to OEM alignment spec.
