    Alignment done... -1.4 degrees camber??

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just had an alignment done with my new H&R suspension. The place said front camber is -1.4 both sides, but can't get it any better because of the lowered suspension.

    Anyone have better luck? Any solutions? Will this eat front tires on me?

    Just make sure to rotate them. Having negative camber will actually help improve your cornering .

    Keep an eye on the inner tire wear. Depending on how rough you drive and the type of tires, you could cord in no time.

    Totally normal for a lowered car with no camber adjustment.
    Yes there is a solution to this problem, if you want to reduce your camber, or increase it, go get yourself a set of adjustable upper links from CPP.

    Thanks, I didn't realize that the front wasnt adjustable enough for even just the H&R springs. Either way, not a real biggie to me. The place I went to was not too familiar with Audis I believe, and I wasn't sure if there was an adjustment he did not know about.

    How long will my tires last is the question... haha

    Do I have to buy the upper links to adjust the camber or can I adjust my rear ones without? Meaning just with my stock ones

    Like everyone said..that is about normal for an H&R coilover ...I would be happy with that..unless I was tracking a lot..and then I would want more negative camber. I think I am at negative 1.8 on both sides on my B6 A4 with the PSS9 bilstein coilovers right now.

    i'm pretty low... i recently raised it again...

    the bottom of the belly pan is about a stubby flat-head screwdriver height off the ground... so its still pretty low...

    i am at 1.19, and 1.28 negative camber.

    CPP arms will help.

    the rear is adjustable already. mine is set at 2.0 on purpose... wear isn't that bad... you can tell that the inside is wearing faster, but not by much... the fronts were insane...

    I'm about -2 front and -1.25 rear with the CPP arms up front. It handles so much better with the camber. I just switched out my tires so the wear would be on the outside after almost 7k miles. I figure I'll get about 12 or 13k out of them.
