Default Stock alignent specs?

Does anyone have the stock alignment specs for this car? Mine's going in tomorrow to a local shop (it was too low for the dealer to align??), and STaSIS says the OEM specs are the best bet. I'd like to have them in hand in case the shop doesn't.

Thanks!

Default To low for dealer? To low for the ramps to the machine or to low for spec's

that's a strange excuse. I bet they just didn't want to touch it for some reason.

Default That's my feeling as well.

They did align the headlights for me, but said their alignment machine couldn't get a reading. Seemed spurious to me, but I didn't argue.

Default I took mine to the local firestone and they did it in a matter of 30 min.

there is not that many settings to change so it's pretty straight forward.

Lifetime adjustment so I can change the height and then go back for $0.

They did such a good job on the Scirocco after another shop failed I just had to use them again.

Default Problem with those shops is they usually don't have the subframe alignment tool

if you need to get the camber equaled out

Good tip on the lifetime adjustment. I'll check them out next time.
