Mk4 w/camber

[16V-Dub]

still working on it but the rear is pretty much set for now

[Dr.AK]

Needs more camber in the front now to match the rear, but you're on the right track!

[16V-Dub]

front is harder haha, I'm thinking about modifying a spare set of control arms I have.

[Dr.AK]

Isn't it adjustable on the Mk4 anymore? I know it was on the Mk3 up to around -2.5°. Did they change that with the Mk4?

[16V-Dub]

Yeah on the mk4 the strut slides into the spindle, mk1-3 bolts on so you can run eccentrics.

Only fix I see is custom tops for the airlift fronts or custom control arms haha

[Mr Ganja]

Is that some massive positive in the front or am I seeing something?

That is nice but would not work, I have airlift XL fronts, they mount through holes drilled in the strut top not using the factory mount. The plate is made to fit in the strut top and I maxed it out on camber before serious modifications are necessary. Think the way to go is to weld slotted plates to my spare control arms to allow ball joint camber adjustment and tack weld the nut holster deal after tuned in.

Yeah it goes to 0* when aired out but well within factory specs when up to barely scraping / driving height Might get worse when I re-notch and notch my passenger and driver sides to lay frame again. The 18"s with new tires lifted it up a bit.

Thanks for positive input!

I slotted a couple of new washers that miced out the same :P haha I wasn't about to spend money on the overpriced shims they sell. Also shimmed out the brake caliper carriers to match the new angle of the rotor I'm not sure if those camber kits do that too.

[Duby_1.8t]

lemme know what you do to the fronts <3

im thinking of picking up a neuspeed kit for the lca or been talking to ben (ohio-dub) about what he is about to run (lca kit)

OK WUT!? your shimming the entire hub carrier in the rear..... this means your caliper should already be perfectly spaced for the angle (of your rotor) with or without the camber.

Someone confirm this.
