When you do Late Upper Arm and Early Lower...

What Spindle do you use? And what Ball Joints?

For those of you with S4 suspensions, how much camber have you been able to attain, such as that you would need for track tires?

IIRC Scott M. said his GTS is 2.5* but it may have been 3.5*.

I'm sure Jim used the stock S4 spindles when he installed the early lower control arms on his car.

I'll be using the stock 79 spindle when I install the later upper control arms.

I used the Upper arm and spindel from an 87 with my lower 85. The camber was over 3 degrees and I shimmed that back to about 2.5. I upgraded the brakes at the same time so this way no adapters are needed for the s-4 brakes.

I initially used S4 uppers with my S lowers, but even with shims was near 3'. I found that to be too much for Hoosier DOTs, so replaced the lowers with S4s as well. As I recall about 2' is what worked best for me.
