Wheels or Adjustable Control Arms?

[DoThisMyWay]

I have new tires coming from Tire Rack that are supposed to replace the existing tires on my S-line wheels but then I started thinking, I want to buy some real mods... [:D]

18" B7 RS4 wheels from Velocity, or...

CPP Adjustable Control Arms?

I hate the uneven tire wear in the fronts. That's the main reason why I'm buying new tires in the first place but the RS4's look soo damn good. [up]

unless you are super dropped you don't need the CCPs. (Unless you track your car, and know how to set up the camber appropriately)

19" RS4's

I was just concerned with getting the front camber back to spec, not necessarily for tracking the car. In the last 12k miles since I've installed the Streetsports, my tires have shown excessive wear on the inside tread. It's not fun buying tires all the time.

there is a set for sale in the classifieds for 500 i think. you cant fix the rear camber though, so either way you will still be buying tires.

I hear adjustable control arms are a bit noisy.

Yeah, I've debated the 18's vs. 19's thing for a while. I know the 19's will look better but I like comfort of 18's. I think it's more practical for my area and how much I drive.

I could have sworn I've read that the rear camber was adjustable but not the front.

Yeah, I read a few threads about the adjustable control arms being noisy too...

Just rotate your tires more, I have a lot of wear on the inside of mine and I am on my stock suspension. IT was so bad that I wore a set of CSC2 down to the bands on the fronts where the rears had a few K left in them. I never rotated my tires. I would just got with rims and only do the arms if I was running my car at the track.

Did you get an alignment after you installed the Co's?

Yup, I always get an allignment after messing with the suspension. The front camber is not adjustable and the rears wear perfectly. I know you have the Stasis adjustable control arms, how are those working out for you?
