    C7 A6 A7 alignment camber adjustment

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, I need some help.
    My wheels are being delivered Monday. Before I put my them on with new tires, I need to adjust my camber.
    As far as I can tell there isn't a kit available for the A6 C7 model that allows the camber to be adjusted.
    There is a kit from SPC that is sold by AWE for the A7 with adjustable upper control arms. Odd thing is, the A6 isn't listed as fitment compatible.
    But if I look up the part numbers for upper control arms for an A6 and cross reference them to an A7, then the numbers match.
    Does anyone have any experience with adjusting the camber?
    And before you ask, I have called and spoken with reps from 3 companies about this and no body has a solid answer.
    All help and ideas are welcome.
    Thanks

    unless something has changed in the last 6-12 months, there was not adjustable control arms available for the C7 A6, went through all this before when I had my A6 on coilovers. I even ordered what some said would work even though it was not technically listed for our car, and it did not fit

    Yes. He bought the SPC from AWE tuning

    This should be it, it's listed to fit the A7 not the A6, just fyi. But I'm going to try.

    I replied to your PM a few minutes ago and yes those are the ones that should work as I indicated in my PM. I have had no issues with these control arms in the 3+ years I have had them on.

    FYI: I noticed AWE also sells a subframe alignment tool. They imply it is needed when installing the adjustable upper control arms. The tech that installed mine did not touch the front subframe therefore no subframe alignment was needed. Of course a complete wheel alignment was performed after the installation.
