Yeah i know what you mean, maybe you guys with a little more experience should chime in. What id he mean by they "had to do it manually, the old school way since its so low"???

Overall from driving, feels the way it should, huge difference...

Old school way would be using string and a bubble machine. If they had a computer then I wouldn't reccomend going back to this garage that you are going to. IMHO find another garage to get a alligment at that will give you a print out.

No problem running camber.. ur biggest tire shredder is bad TOE alignment....... Camber u can dismount and remount tires opposite way to get more tire life out of them
More camber upfront will help u with initial high speed turn in... so if you like to run canyons etc, run more camber up front... (need camber arms).

You can run the rs3 backwards but not for the rain!

it would help if op would post if he wants a dd or a track car setup.

FlawlessZ · 01-03-2013, 05:58 PM

Martin, you dont run any parts for your camber or toe right?

roy'sz, I am a beginner on the track, I'm planing on going at least twice in the next six month...I am an aggressive driver in general and I like hitting up the canyons at least once or twice a month. Once I test out these specs ill know if I'm happy with it or not...So far so good.

not much is stock on my car anymore, I run front and rear camber arms, but no aftermaket TOE adjustment (which I should get eventually). I was still able to get my toe corrected..

Okay guys,

I finally feel good about the alignment. We measured camber and toe last night at my buddies shop. Those guys really did do a great job.

-1.5 front camber with 1/16 toe-in

-2.0 rear camber with 1/16 (toe-out I think)

So I could use some arms in the rear but with 2 degrees in less than half a degree from factory so It should be fine. Within factory spec up front with a 1.5 inch drop on Megan springs.
