do you just have the sliding ball joints in the front?
my bilstiens are being revalved with a few extra notches cut @A the same time. I'll be about 1 inch lower then the lowest nuespeed bilstein setting. my inside tire wear is going to becomea problem i think.

so do you like the kmac kit?
do you change your settings for events?
I need to learm more about this stuff i guess but according to my dealer I was within spec when my car was second to the lowest notch rear and second to the lowest in the front. my tires wear very quicky on the inside edges. I dont know if the front or the rear is the problem becase my wheels are off the car so much for events.
I dropped the rear another notch which really improved the cars handling. but I noticed the rears are really wearing fast in the rear now. I'm almost down to the wear bars after only a few k on avs spots.
when I install my revalved shocks my car is going to be much lower. whats going to be my best bet for reducing tire wear on the inside edge?

iirc k-mac doesn't make a rear kit...
if you're having a rear camber problem, cpp may be the only game in town!<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&PP =a4_18t_suspension.cfm&PPT=Suspension&IL=C PPAdjust">http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=1&PEI=2&a

i like it, i dont change it during events. i dont have much confidence in aluminum rod ends
i have a set for my other car's trailing arms but i am still thinking about not putting it on.
i'm not sure what youre going thru but i dont put enough mileage on my car to worry about rubber. in any case they seem to be fine. only recently that i've noticed my rears to be *gaining* some neg camber although i have not touched it
sorry i cant help. i dont deal with numbers and factory specs. as long as it handles well and feels right ey. i can sell you the kit with control arms if you want as i'm learning a new car
