Default Swapping rear control arms to adjust camber - update

Dunno whether anyone (rasTTa?) has further looked into this; but looking at the original german KW mounting instructions talking not about swapping "if equipped with a all-wheel-drive" or so but about a "bad road suspension" I had an e-mail exchange with some KW rep in Germany who said that the "bad road suspension" mentioned in the instructions is a 20 mm highered suspension on certain cars designated for the east-european market. And that an Audi TT quattro doesn't have such a suspension

So - my interpretation of the word from KW Germany is - no control arm swap on lowered quattro TTs.

Cheers, Kai

Default I assume it may not even be possible....

...although it contradicts to what the KW rep told rasTTa.

Default Ok - this is what I think is the case - based upon the control arm recall info - two different

types of control arm setup's exist. The recall has two different "kits" one with 4 control arms that are the same and one with two different sets of control arms. I'm going to assume those cars with the two different control arms MAY be able to swap - but the swapping the other type obviously won't make any difference. There is also a "sport" suspension available on some of the European 4Motion cars - and I'm thinking they have the 2 sets of different control arms as well. I never measured mine and haven't really pursued this as I'm gonna put some Kmacs in instead.
