Default Alignment Question for the experts???
I went to an alingment shop who has done a lot of lowered cars and the guy in there told me that for a lowered audi it needs a little bit of toe in. Does this sound right? i've always thought you want it as close to 0 as possible.
Need you guys opinions.
Thanks

Maybe. What are your goals? Street car, maximum tire life? Track car? Street handling?

In that case a little toe in might not be a bad idea.

Default toe-in keeps straight line stability on the highway. also eats tires. I run 0 toe all around.
If it ever becomes a track ***** only, I'll run a little toe-out.
