Default Need alignment advice...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10402/tt_alignment.jpg"></center><p>Would someone be willing to look at these specs from my dealer's alignment? I just had them install 18x8.5" wheels &amp; ps2's, ground control front camber/caster plates, eibachs &amp; bilsteins w/ a full kmac combo, and want to ensure I have a good set-up. They still need to finish up a few things on Tuesday, so if I need them to make some refinements, I still have time, based upon your input. Also, is it correct that I should expect to adjust the alignment in 500-800 miles? Thanks in advance. I have so much for which to thank this forum...hopefully, in a few weeks I'll be able to unveil my highly modified '05 225 coupe! It has been very hard to keep it under wraps these past several months, but I think you'll like it. Thanks, again!

Default i would tell t hem that those upper plates are adjustable >>>

and show them how to adjust it but the caster alighment doesnt cause wear problekms due to a good cross caster alignment

Default Not bad but....>>

I have the GC plates too and went with a -.9 setting which is a little more aggressive. Caster is adjustable BTW by rotating the plates, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.

you need some camber adjusters on the rear though.
-1.5 to -1.6 is a more optimal setting for a moderately aggressive street set-up. You're a little high at -2. Car will feel more nimble at a lower setting..

Hmm. My dealer says Audi caster isn't adjustable. Are TT's different?

Default It isn't, but the GC Camber plates allow it....>
