Default A couple questions regarding alignment

I recently had installed the Audi Sport suspension springs and shocks on my 2001.5 A4 1.8T,Q that had the stock suspension with the 15" wheels. I also upgraded to 16" Modas with 225/50 tires. The shop that did the install said they did an alignment also. My question is, what specs should be used for the alignment? The specs for the stock set-up or for a Sport set-up? Or more simply, are they different or the same? Also, should the headlights need re-aligning? They seem OK but how would I now if alignment would make a difference? Thanks.

They would normally just set the toe to factory spec, nothing else is adjustable without extra parts

Default Well, the dealer doesn't bother to replace old bolts and nuts each time...

"It's just a recommendation."

Then again, I think they never bothererd checking the alignment in the first place.
