Could be- anytime you lower a car you affect the camber settings. If the
camber isn't adjustable you'll need to do something heavy to fix it like
slotting the mounts.

On my 86, though, the camber *is* adjustable, so I'm a bit confused by all
this talk of problems with camber-- unless the stock adjustments are
insufficient?

One of our Denver shops (Champagne) told me that there wouldn't be a
camber problem with H&R or Eibach (assuming you can find Eibach..) and
people with camber trouble are lowering too agressively...

Bad toe and/or camber will cause this.

Any good race shop or auto machine shop should be able to slot the mounts
for more camber adjustment. 2Bennet gets more confidence bacause they
specialize in Audis.
