To set the front camber up spot on, I need some adjustable upper control arms
Has anyone else who has lowered their ride height fitted these? If so what company did you purchase them from

O have the 034 ones from Awesome on my B7
Excellent piece of kit, nicely made and has given perfect use in the 10k miles so far this year.

Would you say they improved the feel of the car?

Nice one would, be intrested to see what you find out, I haven't called them about wheel alignment as I need to order the arms before the cars camber can be set to perfection, keep us posted

I ran a group buy (direct from 034 in the US) over on another forum (
A5OC) for the
034 Motorsport ones (all B8 applications) and have a few sets left new and unopened due to people pulling out. PM me if interested.

Poo !
The US site is the same price as the Awesome once you add the shipping. Spoke to Awesome and they have a couple of sets on the shelf for the RS4 B7. So just need confirmation from CentreGravity and I'll buy a set.
Update:
Just ordered a set from Awesome, £378 inc p&p

E14STO mentioned in this thread a while back that he'd gone through three 'o34 motorsport' arms in just as many months

His car is supercharged, but even so?

Thanks Sam, It's the first bad review I've been told of, hopefully mine will be ok

Same here, I'm sure you will test them out well enough to find out either way

They have been great.
Primarily I am interested in the setup that they can give - its not so much about feel as potential lol
