do u think lowering the rear will affect the front by a bit?

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37620/scenario.jpg">
here's the case, the front is absolutely fine now, no scraping when i m slow
but the rear was hard to adjust, so i left it for now...going to adjust it later
so do u guys think the front will scrape if i lower the rear? shouldnt affect the front, right?

 

How low is the front VS the rear?

 

yes, very stagger look right now
or rigged...
whatever u call it
hmm looks like i m braking, heh...the rear is too high, i cant adjust it
someone said i should take the bolt at the ctrl arm to take off some compression first...i dunno
sounds too much work with just a jack at home...

 

1/4 inch higher then the front.

 

gonna do alignment tomorrow
any specs that u like?
i setted my shocks to 50% and 75% at rear
they are koni yellow...what do u think...
now i dont dare to test it on street yet
going to autoxing as soon as i can..

also, how can rig help handling actually...not the stiffness of the suspension help only?
coz the CG is higher off ground so it will mostly likely swing more?

 

How much lower then stock are you and did you stay within KWs maximum lowering specs?

 

just looked at the front i think i have some camber issue...just a lil...

its adjustable right...?

 

But if I remember my car was around 27 1/4 inches. This is the stock non sports package ride height. So if all cars are the same you lowered your front by 2 inches and your rear by 1 inch. Now you need to find out from KW what are their maximin lowering specs for the Variant 2 set up. I'm sure you are within their specs because 2 inches in the front is reasonable
so is 1 inch in the rear. If you wish and if it is within the KW specs you could lower your front to 25 inch even and set the rear to 25 1/4 inch. Now on to the camber issue, the lower you drop your car the more the negative camber you are going to get which is good for handling but can cause premature tire wear. Unfortunately the camber and caster in our front suspensions are non adjustable, in the rear the camber is adjustable. If your car is lower then the stock OEM sports suspension you will be outside Audi's specs. Not to worry that's only Audi's specs. It does not mean everything has become dangerous and all hell is going to break loose. If an Audi dealer is going to align the car just make sure he uses the sport pack data same would go for an independent alignment shop. As long as the caster, camber and toe all match up left and right there won't be any problems. Speaking of toe, one way to reduce tire wear from a more negative camber setting is to reduce the toe in. Toe in is there to keep the car steadier at highway speeds, if you decrease the toe the car might be a bit more nervous. Just for reference on my car the front alignment figures are the following; Camber -2.0 to -2.25 degrees, Caster +7.5 and Toe just on the positive side of 0 degree. The rear set up was the following; Camber -1.25 degrees, Toe at 0 degree. Note my front suspension is fully adjustable unlike yours, that's why I can adjust my camber and caster. Hope this can help you out.

 

now my front is the lowest i can get thru the garage i think....
so maybe 25"1/2 at rear

as for camber, how come so many ppl with lowered cars on forum dont have camber issue or they are just not telling? some are even lower than mine! yes you got the adjustable arms, so can u adjust to 0 camber if u wish?

what % camber wont kill my stock tires dramatically? I dont track my car as often as u do

Thx..

 

people have done to their cars for the camber issue, perhaps you should ask. But I don't think your car will be that much lower if any when compared to the OEM sports pack. In that case I would not worry at all because Audi must find it acceptable for the tire wear. if you fall outside the specs just remove some of the toe in, front and rear. Another way to reduce the wear in to rotate your tires often, I would rotate them every 3000 miles.
