Lowered S4: camber adjustment?

Did audi change the suspension from the A4 when they developed the S4 to allow camber adjustment when the car has been lowered?

My A4, once lowered, had a good bit of negative camber that could not be dialed out. (Wore tires out- but was great fun on ramps). If you lower an S4, does the same problem exist or did Audi provide some abiility to adjust?

thanks-

You can adjust side to side, but not total.

If you run around -1.0 to -1.25, you shouldn't wear out tires TOO quickly. Just go auto-x or track on them once in a while =)

Your toe could be outta whack. Even with -1.5 camber, tires won't wear out as fast if toe is zeroed

Now if you take it to the track, different story

With lowered suspension, rear camber cams at (or beyond) limit,

Perhaps we, or some vender, should fabricate replacement cam bolts and washers for the rear with extra "swing"? Shouldn't be hard.<p>Jim De Arras
