allignment for 23" ground to fender?

[bronz]

hey guys,
planning on installing my coilovers next week and then taking it to get an alignment right away. 23" ground to fender is my goal. anyone know the specs for toe, camber, and caster being this low? and please don't leave comments like omg you're gonna be way to low and the ride will suck. thanks

[dwi_gti]

omg you're gonna be way to low and the ride will suck

sorry had to

no clue on the settings, unless your doing any crazy autoX events jsut let the shop set it so the tires ware evenly

[big_greasy_taco]

23" is pretty low, just Letting ya know. As far as settings, just let the shop do it like said above.

i'm at 24 7/8" and even at that height there is still a bit of induced camber.... at 23 there will be a lot more unless you are running 17s or 16s. remember you can't fix excessive camber unless you have adjustable control arms

[Kyle H]

You're going to have at least -2º negative camber.... maybe even up to -3º. Other than that just have them equal out the camber and get the toe in spec and you'll be good.

You'll hate it.Way to low!!

love it. I'm planning on close to that this summer. All i can say is make sure you plan on buying tires sooner than normal cuz it seems like its hard to get even wear on the tires and make sure you get a good skidplate! Your gunna be bottoming out everywhere. but is worth it

[.Mad Hatter.]

i guess its time for me to invest in falken and febi....because youre going to shoot through tires and control arms like oprah through a buffet

[CaSp3r9]

Damn, that's low. I'm at 24.5" and my exhaust sits about 2.5" off the ground right after my downpipe. It loves getting pwnd by rocks/debris and speed bumps!

As long as the toe is in spec and the camber is even he shouldn't go through tires too fast.

I'd look into getting a panzer plate to protect your oil pan though.

I hope you plan on purchasing a skid plate lol

I know everyone else has said the same thing but 23" is really really low. At that level you are going to be running into a lot of issues with the suspension, tires and the ground. (btw, kyleH, if thats your car, it looks awesome)

Ive got 25" fender to ground on all 4 and I have no camber issues at all, only very mild toe-in on the front. And im running H&R Race springs on stock sport struts.

[JaVa]

your suspension geometry get completely fed too, so its simply for looks.......
dont try to take any corners hard.

[BluMagic]

yea man if u dont get adjustable control arms your gonna be running thru tires so quick...i bought the suspension off Pacman(the santorin a4 pictured above) preset at that height and i went thru my front tires in a matter of months

(btw, kyleH, if thats your car, it looks awesome)

Not my car, I would never be caught with my coilovers that low.

[.Mad Hatter.]

does nobody care about how their car handles?

[Jibberific]

nobody on 4T seems to

ride is fine if you get decent coils and know how to drive

[merrigan]

just because we care about ride height more than we care about shitty 19's and halo headlights like AZ kids,

wtf

[merrigan]

im currently at 23 gtf and cant wait for winter to end to go down more.

lol.....what?....ok buddy

[Stone825]

lol.....what?....ok buddy

Yea I didn't get what he said either.

[willowtreexx]

hey to each is own but i think running that low looks horrible and has no benefit. but if you want to be different by drawing attention thats cool. i just wouldnt do it cause it would cost too much for repairs, and tires. i would be worried about ruining something under the car. it would not fun to drive, ride would be horrible, cant take corners any faster than a semi and esthetics arent there.

[JaVa]

ride might be ok, but there is no useable suspension travel left.....

[b5andm3]

Yall need a lesson in what low is.

heres my m3 @ 21.5"

[AWD Mike]

my car.. and that is what 22" looks like

Are those 17" Celebration wheels or 18" RS4's?

Looks fantastic, any other shots ?
