RS4 B8 with KW coilovers and 10mm spacer issues!

[RIV]

[quote
Handling is a lot better now I have normal upper control arms with the camber as close to factory as possible with the 10 mm spacers it is still out but turns in superb and there is no rubbing on the rears now with the 5mm spacers,

Another issues is the Pirelli Tyres they cause so much tramlining it's unreal am on pilot sport 2 now the grip is a whole lot better in wet back end hardly ever comes out anymore on wet round abouts when booting it!][/quote]
The pirellis are terrible for tramlining, if your car is lowered your camber can't be set anywhere near to the standard dimensions due to the lack of top arm adjustement! be prepared to scrub the tyres out in around 5-7k
Inside edge will be worn heavily

Evening Gledsy,

Thanks for your reply, hope your all well.

Let me get this right!

You have 5 mm spacers on the rear (which ones have you used,are they hubcentric?)
You have removed 10mm spacers from the front and you haven't fitted 5mm to replace them?

You are also on KW coilovers? Have you dropped the car on them if so by how much appx?
You don't have adjustable front top control arms, so the front camber is as close as it can be with what ever height you have set the car at?


Cheers

Ive had adjustable top control arms fitted.

My issue is the change in handling with 10mm spacers on.

The last time I heard the tram line effect was the 90's!
After 22k I would disagree with that, I find wet use ok with the Pirellis, all tyres have limitations, I might try the michelins next time. Which ones are you on ?


Cheers
