Audi is charging me 130 for Alignment/Camber Adjustment...Anything cheaper, anywhere??
I have Neuspeed Sports, and I'm having Koni Adjustables installed on Friday, but I was wondering if you guys know of a place that may do a better, if not cheaper job. 130 sounds like a lot to me, to do all that, and I've paid that ridiculous price before to have all that done. If you guys know of a place that would do a great job, but for cheaper, lemme know. Thanks guys!

I watched Jorge do my car a while back....and now see why they charge so much.
Takes a long long time, and the equipment is very percise, very complicated.

Audi and volks are the only ones that can do the 60 mm raised toe
measurment and adjustments. I would say you could get a alignment cheaper but a simple toe would be as much as you get, the 4 link suspention needs a 60 mm raised toe to adjust for bump steer you get what you pay for....

about the 60MM toe adjust.....some BTDT's
the 60 mm toe adjust is only because the tierods are REALLY hard to adjust with the car on the rack, not jacked up.....has nothing to do with 'bump steer'...hell NOTHING adjustable there does anything for bump steer...
the raised 60 MM deal is for the tech to have the LUXURY of not pinching his hands and dropping his tools....and it also shaves time off the process....all it is is a program that tells the Hunter machine to compensate for the toe (all alignment angles CHANGE when the wheels are off the ground) when the front of the car is raised SIXTY mm.....that 60 mm is about the room needed for a pair of technician's hands, and a couple of wrenches on the tierod....
my dad's lowered B5 passat has the 4-link suspension...same as the Audis....i have aligned it 2 times in its life (1999, 112000 miles old) and it stays where i put it....i only align when i replace suspension parts (tierods went, and i got all new control arms last week)
i have aligned the passat on a Hunter with the 60 mm compensation (its not a VW/Audi dealer only thing.....many newer hunter machines have the ability) and it is nice....but it is ONLY for the tech's luxury....
