Default Rear neg. camber help B5S4 (also in Supension Forum)

I've got Koni coilovers with a recent alignment, two weeks later i'm starting to eat through the inner rear wheels like crazy. I called the local Audi dealership and they say there's limited rear camber adjustment and that with lowering there's not enough adjustment to prevent inner tire wear. They said even stock s4's are not at 0 (knew that). Last time i posted on AW everyone says i shouldn't need a rear camber kit. IS there a kit out there for this situation? I'm just trying to prevent getting another alignment for nothing and i can't find any readily available rear kit/bolt/ect.

Default How low are you? I've never seen really bad inner tire wear and I used to be ~25.2"

fender to ground. Ran that way for 3+ years.

I had a good shop do the alignment it cost me a bit more and they took their time to get everything as good as possible.

Default I've always struggled with that as well. I just thought that's how lowered B5's work..

The guy below is saying differently. Can anyone else chime in?

Default Please share rear ride height and alignment settings.

Camber really should not be an issue.

Default Dont have them sorry.

I might just have to take it in to get the readings and see if it can be adjusted.

Default I'm 25.5" all around and I don't have any issues with the rears...

though I get nasty inside wear in the fronts. getting an alignment this weekend when I put my summers back on to hopefully minimize this.
