    Best Alignment Specs for stock suspension

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    I am still on OEM suspension and was wondering if anyone has done any research in to the manufacture alignment specs to see if there is anything better out there for daily handling.

    I say this because it always feels like my car is wandering a bit, but when I go to get the alignment checked I am told it is perfectly in spec, so I assume that audi just makes it like this.

    Any ideas?

    As I'm sure you are aware there are a few other things that can cause a sensation of wandering or actual wondering besides your alignment specs. I'm not sure on the real world user recommended specs vs. Audi alignment specs for the S4 myself.

    I have had my vehicle checked over by a mechanic I trust, and he insures me there is no issues with my ride and that the specs are in. The only other thing it could be would be tires. But I have heard on other forums that Audi does a very "safe" specs for alignments. Just making sure that tires wont wear unevenly.

    I am looking more if anyone has alignment specs for a more stable, sportier ride.

    just out of curiosity, do you run wheel spacers? I notice a difference in how the car tracks on the road/tramlining under certain conditions if I have spacers on.
