Mind you this was after addressing the front travel issue with 6mm spacers for the front spring regaining front ride height lost with the camber plates, and cutting the front bumpstops down to 20mm (from 60mm)


With the stock front upper mounts, it was no problem on the street fwiw...

So, B8's seem to have way more bump travel than the stock PP/Sachs dampers I had to *try* to find the bottom which I did by hitting a speed bump at ~30mph. Normal usage is super-smooove over bumps. Yay!

Sorry to bring this back. With your original setup (PP Sachs/Swift R), what was the reason why you went with the camber plates instead of bolts? Limited camber adjustment with bolts? I think you are also running some 17x9 +35, was there not enough inner wheel clearance for bolts?


Thanks.
