Is there anything I need to or the alignment guys need to do once the KMAC bushings is installed?

Just let them know that you have eccentric bushings on the inside of the rear control arms for camber and toe adjustment. Any shop worth their salt should know what to do with them.

Default Kmac adjustment tips...>

From the FAQ:

Note: Only with a full Kmac set is Toe easily adjustable. Drops of over 1" should install a full set.

1) Install Kmacs and set to neutral (centered or stock equivalent setting)

2) Adjust Camber with the lower KMAC to desired setting (I like -1.6). You'll generally be pulling the bottom of the wheel IN here.

3) once Camber is set, proceed to toe adjustment.

4)Rotate BOTH top and bottom Kmacs Equally to pull both the top and bottom of the wheel either In or Out to achieve Spec.

5) Double check Camber and tweek if necessary.

Well I am an American living in Germany. Most of the German shop don't mess with none TUV approved items. I have go to the military hobbie shop to take my control arm apart. The spring in the car was H R Sport Springs and I don't think the original owner had the shock repalced either. The ride is not bad but I can see I need KMAC. The Forge Control Arms was just too expensive. I hope I can do this job myself without problems. I may acquire a Audi Repair Book to see the squence of taking the control arm apart. 18x10 and 18X9 tires are too expensive to repalce and I might just get me some 17's again.

Wie Geht's? Where are you at in Deutschland? I just moved from Mittelbrunn (near Landstuhl) back to the states in September. Was stationed at Ramstein AB working for HQ USAFE.

The folks at Gerbert Audi in Kindsbach or Rittersbacher Audi in Landstuhl speak pretty good english - I never had any problems.
