    I can't understand how the differences between a bora4mo and .: would be too drastic either...?

    Either way, something doesn't sound right on installation.

    Edit: felt like looking at some solid neg camber. found
    http://www.bobhindsonracinginc.com/read.asp?docid=617

    that is listed for a B5 Audi, and i didnt nav the site. But maybe something on there to help gain/lose some camber.

    and a little bit of "inspiration"

    Yeah that will be very noticeable to look at. Pics will show that for sure, cant really see where they can go wrong?? When you say you had it lowered, did you use brand new stuff???? There is a minor camber adjustment for the front which is by moving the subframe. Doesnt do too much though. Adjusting the rear is a pain. Even 2degrees is a getting there

    OK, so I just got the car back (they ended up having to keep it overnight)... The numbers tell the story more than the pics, its quite hard to capture on camera... Rear has approx 3.4 degrees of negative camber, and 1.7mm of toe-in, so I'm guessing new tyres will be in order in about a week!

    The guys at Pedders are going to try and get hold of some adjustable upper control arms to fix it, so will let you know how I go...
