Default Wheel alignment for S3?

I'm installing coilovers on my 2015 A3, does anyone have the factory alignment specs for the lower and more sporty S3?




While my car drives fine and tracks straight, I did notice while taking some "before" measurements that my car has about 3/16" of toe out in the front. I would expect to see around 1/16" of toe in, but I don't see specs listed anywhere. The car is a tad darty, so the excessive toe out explains some of that.


Strangely, I had about -1.1° camber on the LF, but only roughly -0.1° on the FR. It doesn't look like there's a ton of adjustment at the shock tower without hogging out the holes (which I don't want to do.) How are course camber adjustments made on these cars? Is it a matter of shimming or shifting the subframe?
