    Exclamation Some advise on my alignment

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i ordered Falken 452s to go with my new 19" RS6s, and will be getting those on very soon. Im about to get my car aligned again cause im worried about my toe, and i want to get the most out of my Falkens

    This is my current specs, did this in november when i changed suspension:

    (framaxel = fronts, bakaxel = rear and vänster = left, höger = right)


    The toe feels way to aggressive to me, the cars strugles to hold a line at high speed, sensitive to tracks. I does not by any means feel unsafe to drive, but like i said, it feels too aggressive. The turn-in is super and cornering is insane good, but i a feeling this will shredd my new tires...

    Im thinking: front toe at dead 0 and rear toe at -0.02, i want it to be rock solid stable and nice to my tires. This is a family car, so safety first!

    other than your camber things look pretty good, and since we don't have adjustable caster I'm guessing it ain't on the w/s. However, the caster can play a role in how the car tracks, and if we had those numbers we would be able to advise you just on what needs to be done. That can be anything from grinding the hole so u can adjust the caster or if serious get some adjustable upper arms.

    This thread is about the toe and how it will affect my new tires. Ive seen to many shredded tires already(with the factory alignment specs). And if i can get the car more stable from it, its a plus, since negative toe helps getting the car stable -i need to dial mine some.

    So if anyone has experience with alignment numbers and how they affect tire wear, please hit me up.

    TIA

    My toe is set to 0.08deg and it is pretty good. 0.10 degree is also within spec so you should be okay, but u can tone the toe down a bit more and try that setting, but like I said your in spec.
