Default Camber kit?

Anyone one got a kit which make you able to adjust the camber on there A4?

I have fitted coilovers and have lowered it a fair bit. So i thing the camber will be way off.

I have had to tracking done but can not do the camber.

Default I have the kit, installed in upper arms, the bushings had to be turned in a lathe to fit in the arms

I haven't installed them on the car yet though.
Lots of BMW guys seem to like the K-MAC stuff though.

Default I have it, it works but they're difficult to adjust once they're intsalled.

But they have solved my tire wear blues.

It will cost about $700 for front and rear kit. Will have to have a think about it i think.

Default How easy is it to fit?

Are there any pics of where they bolt on to?

Default CPP.... I've BTDT with the K-Mac

If you have any thought that you will need to replace your upper control arms. Do the CPP kit.
By the time you buy new upper control arms plus the K-mac kit (also the labor is easier with the CPP) you will almost be there for the CPP kit that replaces your upper control arms.

The k-mac kit was kind of a pain. The factory upper control arms I had didn't work quite right. The hole where the steel sleved rubber bushing came out to make room for the k-mac bushing was too small for the k-mac kit. I had to enlarge the hole to make them fit, then press them in. I guess the bushings may fit differently depending on what control arms you have. So be aware of that. I think I heard someone say once the k-mac bushing was too small for the hole where the rubber bushing came out, you'd have to search on that.

Also FWIW...
My alignment shop had no issues getting the alignemt done with the kit installed.

Default Also....

both kits will make more noise than factory...so be prepared for that.

I had to lube the poly bushings in the k-mac kit occasionally
