Camber who?

[Original_Token]

Hello,

OK, so i plan on bagging my 2012 S4 (bags are for groceries blah blah). Going airlift performance 3p. Running some rather aggressive wheel specs, but my main concern is camber. I don't want a lot but naturally it happens, are OEM parts good for slight camber or do i just need to go ahead and get a full adjustable kit. I haven't seen many Audi with wild camber, but like i said i'd prefer to avoid it. is anyone else bagged who needed to make upgrades to accommodate? and if so what are some recommended kits?

Have you checked out all of the threads devoted to running air on the B8 platform? Here's one from the A4 forum:

I've been scanning the forums most of this morning, i'm new to the Audi world so wasn't sure if the A4 and S4 ran the same.

A4 sline is pretty much identical with the s4. Minor diffrences, like seats for example.

No special equipment needed for rear. Running anywhere from 1.3* to 2.8* is possible with stock equipment. I personally have 1.6* on my rear.
Fronts are not adjustable unless you get adjustable control arms. Depending on your ride height, your camber will adjust automatically due to the nature of the suspension.

What is your definition of aggressive wheel specs? I have friends running 19x9.5 et25, 19x9.5 et32, 19x10 et25, and 19x10 et35. There are no issues if you use the correct tire size. 225/35 or 235/35 all under OEM camber specs at OEM height.

Mirrorcaps, seats, grille, black calipers, diffuser.
Some parts not worth mentioning.

Get your alignment to your ride height with whatever camber you need. Your car will naturally air out when you camber.

Lol. Those are the parts not worth mentioning. I meant engine, suspension with ADS, brakes, and sport differential.

I'm aiming for fender lip, I should be right there at et12. Good to know i can make that work with OEM, guess i won't really know till i test fit the wheels. Thank you.
