Suspension & tyre Help please

Post by aeronsenna » Sun Jan 29, 2012 3:40 pm

Can anyone help. I have a B5 RS4 2000 that is fitted with Koni coilovers in the recent year I have been having problems with
exessive inner tyre wall wear I mean threads are showing while the tread is min 5mm I took the car to Audi when I bought the
car nearly 3 years ago they reset the geometry Thats when the problems started as they set it to standard (she is lowered by
at least 50mm), Since then tyre wear is down to wall wear not tread. I took it to a Koni supplier to get her reset again.
And once again 6 months down the road, while having a service I get told I need 4 tyres, so I need help
I am not a novice to these cars, this is my third but the first with coilovers and I need to solve this problem and what tyres
do you rate as a pilgremage to the ring beckons

It's probably due to the negative camber caused by lowering it.

As theres no adjustment from factory, the only way will be to buy adjustable top suspension arms.

Stern or 034 Motorsport spring to mind.
