    The camber on the rear wheels on my factory 30mm lowered car is relatively extreme in my view and now that i am having to pay for tyres myself (my finance contract has run out) I'm a little concerned that it isnt right.

    If you look at the car from the rear you can see the top of the wheels tilting into the middle of the car (a bit like a racecar!). Audi did redo the geometry once after the first set of tyres were worn on the insides and had 6mm on the outside!

    Has anyone else noticed this? My last set of rears were replaced under the finance contract as they had cuts in them so they never got low enough to see whether the geometry change had worked.

    just noticed that the rear wheels point "in" at a pretty extreme angle too. Is this normal?

    I used to think my lowered TT had a craxy camber but it was the body work making it look like that.

    They only thing you can do is get a full alignment done.

    i reckon that will be the next port of call - unfortunately most places seem to rely on the back being correct to set the rest of the car up and i am not convinced the Audi dealer would have something like a Hunter full laser alignment rig when they changed it

    Some useful info and a list of centres here

    The guys who service my Porsche have a Hunter rig and set it all up when i refreshed the suspension.

    Had this problem with my car too. Rears were totally bald on the inner edge with 5mm+ on the outside.
    ScottyUK - had this problem when I lowered the TT too. Kinda miss the TT and the hours spent on the TT-forum
