    Is there a difference between adjustable arms and camber kit?

    I am installing HR springs on my S5 with wheel spacers. Someone told me to get a camber kit on front and rear.

    The tuner said that I only need to put on adjustable arms on the front.

    What is the difference between a camber kit and adjustable arms and why only put the adjustable arms on the front?

    Thanks in advance for the education.

    A camber kit is merely a generic term for some "kit" that allows you to make adjustments to the camber of the car. On these Audis, this "kit" consists of adjustable control arms. These adjustable arms are the best way to adjust the camber to the vehicle.
    The arms go only on the front because the rear camber has adjustability from the factory. There is no adjustability in the front suspension from the factory.
    Check out our Stern control arms. The first kit on the market for the B8's, and still one of the best.

    Thank you for this. Can you tell me why the Sterns are better? Keep in mind that I am new to this and am pretty ignorant

    Sterns are some of the easiest to adjust and completely rebuildable if necessary. They use heavy duty factory style inner bushings for minimal road noise, and allow up to 2* of camber adjustment.
