Lowering and camber issues

[JMG]

Okay as some of you know I lowered my car a few weeks ago with Neuspeed Sport and Neuspeed/Bilstein Shocks. They are on the second to lowest perch. I originally wanted the better ride of sport springs (abeit slightly) and reduce camber issues or uneven wear. But now I want it lower. .

Will the lowest setting give me any camber issues? If so how much shorter will the tires last with uneven wear?
How much will one perch lower my car?
I'm on 18x8.5 RS4 replicas btw. Here is a pic of the drop so far:

This is the reason im getting CO's, I know after a while i would want it lower if i got Sport Shocks and Springs

as far as i know no one really has camber issues. I was told by new dimensions that are shouldn't need camber kits. So i don't think you camber should be and issue. As long as you don't go tucked.

If you're lowered, you will have camber issues. But, that all depends on what you consider an issue. My car is 25.5" off the ground all around. I can never get a perfect alignment, it's as Ralph Wiggum would call "umpossible".

But, if you rotate your tires, you should get nearly full life out of them.

Did you get your car aligned after you installed your current setup? You really should get an alignment anytime you change your ride height.

Yeah I had it aligned last week. I guess I should get another one if I lower it some more. damn.

Yeap you need to lower it more.

So how much will one perch lower it? Anoyone got pix?

IIRC, each perch is .25 inches, right?

That sounds like alot. Can anyone confirm this?

ha, i'll let you know about camber issues when i get home, my coilovers are goin low low low when i get back.

your wheel gap looks good all around... any lower and it'll look like a dropped honda wheel well. No gap on top, gaps to the front and rear.

I'm below 25" and have no uneven wear problems at all.

If you're having camber issues, you should invest in the KMAC camber kit...works great.
