alignment specs for the B8 S4?

[dims]

Does anyone have the wheel alignment specs for the B8 S4? I would like to know the amount of caster & camber adjustment in each wheel.

I'd recomend the rear at Zero toe, and the front at the minimum spec. Camber is fixed on the front, but with the adjustable arms you can tweak them. Rears can be adjusted a bit. -2 is the max I'd go (1.75 is the spec for max)

I just got H&R OE springs installed and alignment done. Can someone help me deciper how off my car is since the shop performed the alignment against specs for an A6 and not A4/S4? I am trying to read this and compare against my "after" alignment specs in the image below. Since caster is not specfied, should I worry about it? Some other people that posted their alignment specs show that caster on their cars were around 4.8 and not 5.27/5.34 of my car. In trying to read the above specs, I don't know how to compare the total toe to the .5" toe on my spec sheet. I know that my front camber will be off regardless since I am lowered now. On the specs above, is the first number under total toe referring to what it should be on each tire and then the second number the true total toe? For the rear camber it looks like max acceptable is .91 and mine are .83 and .89. Any advice would be great as I am a novice when it comes to alignment specs.

What I need to answer is do I need to go back and have them do this again based on the A4/S4 specs.

here are my results for reference. Stock with OE springs:

Thanks. Comparing to yours mine looks to be significantly off.

Any feedback on the amount that I am off from what Phillips posted and if I really should go get it done again?

All of your specs look good as they stand. Aside from using 4F A6 profile as their baseline, which may not differ from the B8's toe settings, the shop you went to did well.
The camber and caster on our cars are static; there will always be slight differences from one another.

Sorry to pull this back up, but how do you adjust Camber on the car. I thought it couldnt be, but the Audi dealership adjusted the front camber.

I ask because I want to try and get rid of this annoying slight pull to the right but don't want to keep bothering the dealership.

[phillips2024]

they do make adjustable control arms

My car is all stock and somehow they adjusted front camber. How?

Here is my alignment with adjustable arms:

I think the bolts on the lower control arms a camber bolts. Can anyone confirm?

[FiftyPence]

Here are my alignment specs after a visit for adjustment today, I have SPC adjustable control arms.

curious why you went with so much neg camber out of specs?

[drob23]

I asked him in another thread to which he replied that all his track time balanced the tire wear on the outside, so in the end he is wearing them evenly. Negative camber should make the car more nimble and handle better at speed.
