I don't think it's for an S4 jon, is this your B4/S4 2wd hybrid Twitch ?
You'll have to put up some pics to show us how you're getting on. |

I agree with JCB on the shocks.
1st - Get rid of any bump steer.
2nd - Set your front camber to 0. Rear to about -2. Toe in to 0. Then adjust your camber links so that when you push down in the middle of the rear of the car the camber angle doesn't change. Do the same for the front. That will be a good place to start.
Now drive, see what it does and make changes to stop what you dislike. That's when it get's really interesting
The hardest bit is understanding exactly what the car is doing. When taking a corner, break it down into 3 parts. Entrance, Middle and exit. (Sounds easier than it is) Then take the same corner again and again. Look at what the car is doing. Make a note, then make the change. Do they same corner, and see what difference the adjustment made.
In no time, you'll be painting your Trakpowers black and calling your car silly names!  |
