    B6 lowered now my back tires are wearing out. I need Help

    Hello, I recently lowered my A4 on coilovers and the next day I got my tires aligned at the same local shop. I now know I should have waited maybe a week or two to align my tires as the suspension needs time to settle. But now within 3 weeks my rear tires are like slicks. They are completely wasted and im curious what the reason can be. I believe this shop didn't even align my tires as they never gave me an alignment paper afterwards. I took it back and they said I probably need adjustable control arms to reduce the wear on my rear tires. I need lowered b6 owners opnions on this. He said it was my camber but I dont believe its that. Negative camber makes your tires wear out unevenly while bad toe wears out your tires faster correct? My rear tires are wearing out evenly but excessively fast. Should I just take it to an authorized audi european shop? Thank You.

    You do not need adjustable control arms for the rear camber. The rear toe and camber is totally adjustable. I would suggest you go to a different shop.

    Seem's to me they didn't align it at all if there was no print out. I just recently dropped by b6 about 2" and the back was still able to be aligned perfectly front is still a bit cambered but i've put about 1000 miles on em and the insides are nothing close slicks. Maybe try another shop out and get a print out showing the before and after. GL
