Default Really want to lower my S6

So, I really wanna lower my 2008 S6... and I see that H&R makes a great kit, 1.3 front and 1.1 rear.

http://www.andysautosport.com/audi/2...r00909077.html

But, I don't want some stanced bull**** car, I need to get my tires back flat, and I don't think the factory stuff has enuf adjustment to even get it close.

So, my question is, who makes front and rear camber kits, where can I get them, and is there a audiworld sponsor that sells all this stuff so i can keep it within this site?

Thanks in advance.

There are no adjustable control arms for the C6. Your only option is getting the kmacs if you don't want inner tire (camber) wear. kmacs is not a permanent solution since they tend to crack.

Stern only makes it for the C5 platform. I'm hoping I'm wrong since I so need those adjustable arms. I spoke directly to Stern about a year ago and they said they don't make it.

for my C6 4.2 I went with KW V1 coil overs, which have worked our VERY well. In fact, I've had little to no camber issues and tread wear has been even.

On top of that it allowed me the flexibility to drop the car EXACTLY what I wanted and IMHO, looks ok...here's some pics of what I went forth with

But doing coilovers vs lowering springs shouldn't make any difference on how out of camber it all gets when lowered. How did you get your ride back flat?

Also, where did you source the rear lip spoiler?

I went to a great place which did the alignment and they got it pretty well exactly within spec...it's been GREAT since then.

As for the rear spoiler...eBay carries a bunch of these:

I have K-Macs, 2 years now, so far so good. I lubricate them twice a year however.

They need to be installed properly, about 90% of shops won't know what they are.

I did the coilovers and my alignment shop got everything back within spec easily.
