Rear Camber Adjustments
Well, It's like this. Just Installed H&R lower springs. 1.2 in the front and 1.3 in the rear. Looks great! Problem is the camber is off slightly in the rear. I've taken it to a couple of places and they all have told me that there is no place on the car to make the adjustment! What's the deal?!?!?!
How do I fix this issue and has anyone else had this problem?
I called Steve's European Auto and they said they are looking into some "camber kits" for me but I don't want to spend a bunch of money on purchaseing and installing the kit.
Help! Thanks in advance everyone.

Your options are.........
Kmac kit
Forge adjustable conrtol arms
ECS adjustable control arms
or
CPP adjustable control arms
You can probably get away with half a KMac kit from TTstuff.com. Least expensive alternative.

Or, if and only if you have unequal length control arms>>
swap them top to bottom, and vice versa, for a low-cost fix. My tires are wearing nice & even after I did that, w/the same amount of lowering.

Not on all cars>>
not sure of the rhyme or reason. Well the reason was to increase negative camber in the rear to promote understeer. My early '01 180 quattro coupe had unequal length arms. I'd say swapping the arms would have even been a good mod had I stayed at stock ride height.

I first posted this back in say 2000..............
but we could NEVER figure out which had which until Audi recalled the lower rear control arms and TWO kits were available depending on VIN. It's even documented in KW's original coilover install instructions. We couldn't determine when the change occured according to VIN's.
