those spacers are too wide imo,looks like a old school corsa modding, as Silas says maybe needs a jig or the subframe has been adjusted, i dont think the rear camber is adjustable

Ride height on n/s is a mm under 67cm whereas on the o/s its at 66cm! Also having fitted the 15mm rear spacers the n/s is protruding more than the o/s......WTF??? I've goton on to Ben @ AmD and going to get the car in to them to check as something is definitely not right. Pics attached
Mine looks lower than that on standard SS+ suspension.... is that right or do i have a problem? Just had a service at Audi and it came back with no problems mentioned...

Louie, did you take it out for a drive to settle out the suspension after jacking it up?

It's obvious, there's just more hammerite on the wheels mounting surface on the near side than there is on the off

Those who have 15 and 10 mm spacers fitted - standard wheels on?

I've just fitted KW adjustable springs - only went with the front to bring it in line with the rear on SS+ suspension - sits perfect IMO

I reckon i could go with the 15 & 10's (10 & 8's on just now) but that's because the wheels are 32 offset rather than 29 on the standards.
