B5 platform FRONT camber kit - gauging interest for a GB
Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 6:28 pm
Hi guys.
I'm writing here to promote a Group Buy on a Camber Kit for the B5 platform (S4/RS4).
As many of you probably know, when lowering our cars we have to cope with an excessive negative camber on the front axle.
This issue leads to an excessive wear of the inner edges of the tyres.
BUT, there is a solution: the Camber Kit.
It consists of 4 new front/upper arms, just like the Stern ones:
Liam from ESP Engineering (http://www.espengineering.com) is finalizing the first sample.
The arms use VW Golf lower wishbone ball joints, and will come without the inner bushings to let everyone choose OEM or Powerflex ones.
As for adjustment there will be plenty: we have 30mm of thread on either side of the adjuster to play with, so that will give a few degrees of movement.
Now, the prices:
up to 10 sets = 315£
from 10 to 20 sets = 285£
from 20 to 30 sets = 260£
This is obviously just a ball park figure to gauge feeling.
I'll update this thread as soon as i receive some photos of the final product from Liam.
So, who is interested?
