achieving more front camber
Janner_Sy:
i have been tracking my car alot around the nurburgring (a bonus of the government posting me an hour from nurburg :jumping:)
and have started this obsessed quest to go faster through the bends.
so far i have got coilovers had them cornerweighted, i have eibach front and Rear ARBs(rear set to stiff, front set to soft),and the walk, but i want more turn in.
i dont want to go for stiffer ARBs as i dont want to ruin the wet weather handling by having to stiff a car, plus i use this car every day.
im looking at poly bushes all around, but ideally i want more negative camber on the car, i see there are a few options,
power grip front wishbones
audi TT lower support arms
but are there any other options.
is there anyone on here with more additional negative front camber. who can advise on it
cheers guys

Power grip front wishbones are horrible, basically they achieve the front camber by cutting the standard bottom arm, extend it by welding some more in, and then paint it all up.. terrible!
The TT arms are a better way of doing it, but about £800 all in and you can only get a maximum of 0.5 degrees..
Top mounts are the way to go.. I have a set for sale.. If your interested let me know..

what is the standard camber the mk 5 is set to.
£800 thats alot more than i thought. I can howver get all this tax free and with further discounts so its not too much of an issue. you have yours combined with WALK, how do you find that.
the morego gives you an additonal 1.75degree Negative camber, and gots good reviews on the evo road test. and at £495 not to badly priced.
I do agree that top mounts are probably the best way of doing it. what top mounts have you got, what do they adjust...Camber , Caster, or both, what make, and how much.
Also how come you are not using them?
thanks jonny

I have a set of AST top mounts that are fixed to 2 degrees negative..
The KW top mounts that I have can go upto 3.5 degrees when in camber adjustment and 2.2 degrees when rotated to maximize caster..
jon-tfsi:
There is a thread over on audisport.net titled "fitted TT suspension arms to A3"
This has some usefull information regarding negative camber.
This suggests the price of the tt arms is more like £350
They are much lighter than the steel ones on your car which should improve handling by reducing unsprung weight. It also looks like they may give a little more than 0.5 deg extra.
Thought this might be usefull info
