Default question about suspension

i have a non-sport package 2002 A4 and wanted to replace my springs with either H&R or Eibachs. . .I don't have the money for shocks yet but will this make my tires butterfly out?

Default u mean negative camber?

if so, just adjust the camber after the springs are installed.

the stock shocks might bottom out though.

Default There is no real camber adjustment, and no that would be a BAD idea.

As inferno mentioned the shocks will bottom out and the are not designed for the different spring rate. You WILL end up doing this job twice and it will handle poorly. A quick archive search would have told you all of this.

Default Re: u mean negative camber?

Camber on the front of an audi 4-link is not independantly adjustable, it is just centered by shifting the subframe.
However there is a second set of holes on the subframe for the lower straight arm that will make your camber more positive and then you can shift your subframe from there. I don't know if this is too much or too little positive camber to bring it back into specs after the drop though, never tried.
Just for you information
