Default Adjustable front, negative camber solution.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/FLCR.JPG"></center><p>The three connecting points on the lower control arm at the base of the hub have elongated holes. Hence, a fair amount of adjustability is already engineered into this part. In fact, it allows for a fairly easy and straight forward manner to adjust by simply lossening the connectors and pulling (negative) or pushing (positive)the base of the hub.

My new found machinist is welding doublers on a spare set of MKI lower control arms and elongating the holes to a wider adjustment range.

These control arms will be part of my upcoming coil over install.

Now, if only the rears would be so easy.

Default I've been telling folks that wanted camber plates about this for months. Camber plates...

raise a vehicles ride height when mounted in stut tower. This adjustment doesnt and is a little more fidgety to get right without the long fulcrum/axis of the strut to rock but a far better solution.

Grade 8 hardware and Unitork nuts and this is the way to go.

You duh man yerfullbirdship! Which assisted living center you retiring to? We could get in a LOT of troub!
