The 034 Motorsport Camber Shim Kit for the Audi Gen 1 & 1.5 R8 makes it easy to add negative camber to your vehicle. Designed as a modular upgrade, each shim adds to the maximum camber range adjustable by adjusting the lower arm spacing on your vehicle’s front and rear suspension, improving both the turn-in and cornering grip of your R8 !
What does this mean for you as a driver? Adding negative camber to your Audi R8 significantly improves turn-in and cornering grip while maximizing lateral tire grip. With this added grip, you’ll enjoy higher cornering speeds, from diving into Turn 2 at Laguna Seca Raceway to sporty driving on twisty roads, thanks to the increased confidence in the grip and lateral g-force your R8 is capable of developing. As cornering loads increase, so does the deformation of the tires and body roll. This combination increases the load on the outer half of the tire. Increasing the static negative camber counteracts this interaction, allowing the camber to be adjusted to optimize the tire's contact patch under maximum cornering loads, resulting in improved traction and tire wear. The Audi R8 comes factory-mounted with double wishbones front and rear suspension, meaning there is an upper and lower arm connecting the wheels to the vehicle. The camber for both the front and rear of the vehicle is controlled via the lower arm and has a limited range of approximately 1.3° . Camber shims are added between the lower arm and the frame of your vehicle, allowing for an increased overall camber range. You can add up to two shims per lower arm mounting point, allowing for adjustability of up to -4.3° of negative camber up front and -3.5° of negative camber in the rear .
