I recently replaced the struts and springs on my B5.5 wagon.



Koni FSD's and Eibach Pro-kit springs. So far quite happy with ride quality and handling, but after reading way too many threads, and observing the now aggressive negative camber on the front, I am looking to adjust said camber to a more tire-friendly stance.

My guess is I am around 3.0 deg negative, and would like to get back to a degree or so.

There seem to be two available options for adjustable uppers. Moog K100092 by SPC, and a few others - the SPC/Moogs seem to be the most popular, but apparently require grinding away a small section of the upper strut mount bracket.

Anyone done this before?

What about another brand or do you think they're all identically designed?
I know TRW, lemforder, and FEQ make the arms also.

Don't know if that helps but figured I'd let you know

I would assume the arms are all the same length. I also have wondered about the adjustable upper arms.

I just ordered them from RockAuto. There are a number of online retailers carrying them, I suspect they are all from the same manufacturer.

We'll see in about a week when they get across the order to my doorstep.

Also, be careful on comparing prices, as some retailers sell a set of two (need one for each side) and others sell a set of four.
