Hi guys I have my new s3 but it's slightly lowered but at the rear it has quite a bit of negative camber is there any correction arms for this also I say lowered it may be saggy springs .

Cheers

Oh sorry for the silly question s I'm new to the s3 s and there's more questions to come.
 
You could look in to adjustable tie bars although it may be better to check your shocks and springs first if they're supposed to be standard height and a wheel alignment before forking out for a set of new tie bars.

Silver Project ones seem to be cheap.

I've a set of Cookbot tie bars on mine which are a little more expensive but very well made.

my negative camber was broken tie bars on seized rose joints, also the springs quite often break - one of mine was.
 
Replacing both inner (poly) and outer (rubber, replacing rose joint) tie bar bushes brought my camber back into a sensible range. Must have taken off nearly a degree per side.
 
OK great stuff I'll look into poly bushing the rear arms and some upper adjustable arms

Also looking a spring kit which would be my best option and prices would be be great.

Cheers guys

You'd better better off fitting them at the bottom

If you fit them at the bottom you reduce the track as you are pulling the bottom of the wheel inwards.
If you fit them at the top you're keeping the track the same, but pushing out the top of the wheel to fill the wheelarch.
