Also, did you have to correct any negative camber when you put the springs on?

Is it the same shop that sold you the Brabus reps?

If so, I'm wondering why they didn't mention 4wd cars and not having staggered setup.

Some people talked about it here in the Tires/Wheels forum:

lookin gooood... but your headlights are lookin a little foggy. you should put in some bi-xenons. silver and white cars seem to accentuate the foggy headlights in my opinion. plus, seems like its the trendy thing to do these days.

i would myself, but im currently saving up for navi.

Staggered on a 4 matic is not good for your car in the long run. It may be find for now. Next time you change the tire, get a continental CSC Tires in 235/35/19 all around. It will strech to a 9.5" wheels and still have a rims protection. Thats what we put on most A4 owners that want to run staggered setup without damaging the car. Just my .02 cents.
