Default You want to do the alignment yourself?

Take it to a place with a Hunter computer alignment machine.

And an alignment isn't necessary when you change the wheels. You should do one when you change the suspension, though.

Default No, but I need to know angles to tell the shop, they do tons of M3's

but not sure if they ever done S4. It is my first alignment since I bought car and changed susp. to H&R streets

Default The Hunter system can pull up the OEM alignment specs...

You'll probably want to stick close to those.

In case you or the shop doesn't know, front camber can only be equalized from left to right by adjusting the subframe, so you can't add or subtract camber to both front wheels evenly (without aftermarket adjustable upper control arms).

Default stasis has some recommended settings for conservative street, agressive street, and track in a FAQ
