Just back from Sunset Audi and they are saying I need rear adjustable arms????
I already have a Kmac kit and they said they adjusted that. They are saying that to get it perfect that I need to get some rear adjustable control arms. I will be getting my printout or the specs when I pick up the car in an hour or so but does this sound right. I have H&R springs and the half Kmac. I would love some advice from the gods and guru's... thanks I will post specs when I receive them...

Hey punk, I just got numbers worked up at Adrenaline Racing...
They are posted below. That's without any KMACs or tie bars yet. If you aren't set on going to Audi for it, call Seth at AR and see what he can do for you. They came highly recommended to me, and thus, I am passing them on to you. I was very pleased with the work they did for me, and I have a few friends with much more expensive (Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, etc.) that only take their track or street cars to them. For what it's worth.

we put them on the lower and I supplied nothing in the way of specs to them.
It was covered by insurance after my run in with a fallen road sign on the freeway. I am off to get the car now so I will post the results in a couple hours. Bottom line though is the last 3 times things have been fishy when I went there. They quoted me then overcharged me once. Then the next time they broke my petal and said the shop was closed for the day so I could come back in the morning and they would try to fix it. And now there little alignment crap. $95 doesn't get a lot anymore though. I just figured they would know the car SINCE IT IS THEIR DESIGN!!!!!!
