Ok, so what are stock camber recommendation #'s (or ranges) for front/rear UrQ, B3Q, B4Q & CQ?
I do know my B4 rear tops out at -1.70L/-1.72R but "believe" my fronts, after lowering to probably be capable of -2 to -2.25 degrees. REALLY wishing I woulda gotten a baseline of that before all the front-end modifications. Ya just can't have too much info on this kinda stuff!
My belief is Audi would've left an additional +/- 1 degree or more adjustment provision in case of impact, frame twist, shifted sub-frame et al.
And a_CQ thanks for your input earlier. I did catch it but got side-tracked before responding. It's in my journal now so hopefully some others will try to help.

You want bentley numbers?
Just out of plain curiosity, how did you arrive at -3 deg as the 'magic' number?
I'd love to help with the measuring, but my control arms allow for more then -4deg of camber, and that's without the ball-joint or the control arm maxed out. I'm not sure how much I can dial in, to be honest, or how much I can dial in before things become a problem elsewhere.
I run -1.5 up front for street and rally, I'd have to dig up my notebook for my rear settings. When I hit shannonville (track days), I move to -3.5 on the front and -2.5 on the rear. All of this is based on my fairly soft suspension. Will need to re-visit all my alignment settings once the car comes out of the garage again.

I'll post up Bentley Numbers for all models...
before the weekend is up. It's a long weekend in Canada, so that means before I go to bed monday.
I'm in the garage wrenching on the rally car, so if you can't wait that long (for whatever reason) just call my cell.

the Bentley B3 Quattro Sedan & Coupe Camber #s
After driving 600 to 1200 miles to allow spring settling:
Front: -50' +/- 30' & Rear: -45' +/- 30'.
Max. 30' difference between sides.
I was surprised that the the Sedan & Coupe both have the same camber target specs; given that the Sedan sits up higher (unless fitted with OEM sport springs?)(which may be Coupe springs?)and that the Front A/R bar vertical links are longer than those on the Coupe (to accomodate that height difference perhaps?).
