best price i got was USD$1349 + USD$270 for freight for the PSS9 i got stung on the way in the 15% though
whichever way you go might be an idea to get a camber adjustment kit (Euro Sport - Adjustable Camber and Caster Adjusters (Plates, Shims and Bolts) for Volkswagen and Audi) at the same time and wind the negative camber up, i have seen on vwvortex recommendations of about -2.3% or more for the track on r32 not sure what the consensus is on that
saw v8 ute series runs a bilstein coilover setup with up to -5.5% camber on the front certainly would help that heavy nose of the bora get around the corners tyres mightn't last too long though

If dropping the car, you *must* adjust rear camber. Best bet for this is to get adjustable control arms - shims/offset bushes just don't work properly. If you're seriously tracking the car, two adjustable arms per side is probably preferable, so you can manage toe and camber independently of each other.Nothing to see here...

what about the front? negative camber to help understeer?Originally posted by Manaz View PostIf dropping the car, you *must* adjust rear camber.

Plans are definitely to look at camber adjustment for both the front and the rear as i'll definitely be needing more for track work as currently its running only .5 degrees negative at the front which simply wont cut it. I've thought about trying the k-mac front camber/caster plates as it'd be nice to have control over caster too although factory spec has me at 7 degrees which is about what i'd be after anyway.
Anybody here tried out the k-mac gear?

I've heard good things about the Kmac gear, but nothing official.
If you decide to go the KW route, I can get KW adj. strut tops for you..

Although I don't think the KW tops are a lot more than Kmac..
