Default I want to drop my B5

Hey everyone,
I would like to get the car down about 2". If I just buy springs, will I need to get some kind of camber correction? What is the best way to drop my B5 and keep things straight and proper?
The car is a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro.
Thanks!

With most cars you will definitely need a camber adjustment kit. BUT, with B5 Audi's, I hear, you can just shift the subframe and that will correct camber angles. I don't know if this is true as I have never done an alignment on an Audi.

For what its worth, I had Neuspeed Bilsteins (perches to adjust the height) with OEM sport springs and the ride was excellent. The drop wasn't quite 2 inches but I wasn't on the lowest perch either. I never had a problem with alignment/ camber etc. Alternatively, go with a properly matched setup (ie: coils) to avoid having a terrible ride ...

Good luck !
