Has anyone running Eibach springs installed this kit? Does it resolve the front inner tire wear issue?

Are you currently seeing tire wear issues? If so, how much (if it's possible to quantify)? I've got the FSDs and Eibachs being installed now.

yes, I am experiencing tire wear issue on the front - in about 15k miles, the inner side of the front were gone; another 2-3k miles and the tire could have given way on the road.

If you park your car and turn the wheels all the way to one side, you should bee able to see the inside of the front tire on one side of the car. How many miles since you installed this kit? Any noticeable wear? Also, do you remember what setting the alignment was done to? My guy set them up to the 1BV settings (Sport Quattro) - which isn't really working for me.

I honestly just picked up my car this morning from having the installation done. I've got about 4 miles on the kit at this point. I wanted to give it about a week or so before having the alignment done. Once I do, I'll happily post the alignment values and let you know what sort of wear I see.

am_ver

yes, thats a good idea. They ask you to let the springs settle for about 500 miles after install before you do an alignment.

jboy - did you get the alignment done yet? values?

Any feedback on the K Macs? Gonna get mine ordered and installed soon.

They work great. No camber wear what so ever - took the car for a tire rotation to the dealer - and they confirmed, no uneven wear. Car sits more balanced as well. Love them - my suggestion, if you are going to lower your car, get the kmacs installed during the install of springs.

Thanks. Already have the s-line+ Koni FSDs installed and front inner tire wear is terrible.

Has handling improved too? And did you also change the front suspension bushes to K Mac versions too?

The car sits better - so feels more balanced. Earlier, with the alignments, I felt that only part of the tire was touching the road. I just changed the upper and lower control arms bushings - thats what is included in the set.
