Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 C4 with Vogtland performance springs and Bilstein Sport shocks. New front tires were scuffed off [inside] after 5,000 miles. These were new tires and an alignment and steering angle sensor calibration were performed upon completion of installation of springs and shocks. Put new tires on and had a new alignment to take out as much camber as possible. Only 2% was the limit they were able to take out, so the problem will still exist [I think]. I have not been able to find adjustable control arms for a 2002 C4. Anyone out there know of any? If not, I will have to put the original springs and new shocks on. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

What is the toe setting? Toe will wear the tires faster then camber.

POST 3Original post

Also may need bump-steer kit if you can't get it back into spec. The lowering springs change the geometry of the tie rods...

POST 4Original post

Rennline makes adjustable control arms for your 996 HERE . There are also a few other brands HERE .

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you all! What I am concerned about now is how far will I have to go?! I am really considering putting the original springs back in. If I do put the original springs back in, will the Bilstein Sport shocks have to come out too?

POST 6Original post

You should be able to keep the sport Bilsteins no problem. Put many of those on cars with stock springs.
