    After I install my coilovers myself. I will be bringing it in to the stealership for a alignment. Will I have any problems with chamber? If so how can I fix it besides buying a chamber kit.

    Audi's 5 point control arm suspension prevents camber adjustments after the suspension has been lowered. The shop can adjust toe and even the negative camber out so that it drives straight. However the only solution(for the front) is to buy adjustable control arms.

    You should be OK as long as you don't go really low. When you have the alignment done have them set the toe in on the front as close to zero as possible. This will minimize the scuffing effect that you can get with camber + toe in.

    basically, yes. I'm 25.25" GTF and have ~ 1.3-1.5 degrees negative camber. Like old guy said though, a smige of negative camber isn't horrible on tires, and actually is probably good as far as handling goes.
