4 Wheel Alignment specs

[Jamo]

Right after another 6 hours of hard slog i've had my car realligned at a Toyota garage where my mate works as a mechanic.

I can see why most places wont touch the job!

My car was totally out of spec, since i owned the car it's always pulled left and i could see why when we put it on the machine, the toe was all over the shop!

The tierods wouldn't move for toffee so ended up taking them off the car and using pentration oil, heat and some massive stilson to get then off, cleaned up and greased.

In answer to my original question when they do the S2 its as an Audi 80 Coupe Quattro and on there theres 2 setting for the suspension, sports and standard.

They give two different allignment specs.

Do any of the alignment settings need to be altered if you've, say, put the lowered H&R springs and bigger wheels on?

How's the car feeling now Jamo?

Yes mate as you'll put the camber out if you put new spring on.

My cars handling alot better now mate, just alot less comfy than on standard springs.

I'm giving it a 3 month trial if i dont like it i'm going back to standard spings on the Bilsteins.

The ride is very firm with my H&Rs that's for sure, but I could never go back to the standard float mode. Did you pop that RS2 ARB on yet?

[Jamo]

Yes alot less body roll with the RS2 arb, i notice it on roundabouts the difference as the rear is nowhere near as firm as it should be.

Speak to me in 2 weeks about it hopefully, fingers crossed.

All UK S2s came with sports running gear

Thats not to what i'm referring, the spec listed on your site corresponds to the Non Sports suspension specs.

[Mikes2]

Now you've lost me. The standard and the sports running gear alignment specs are the same as quoted in Audi reference material. Only the heavy duty running gear is different which I don't have listed for the Coupe - it's only listed for the avant.

Anyone have the RS2 alignment settings

Hi all

I'm going to be replacing (well not personally) all the rubber bits under my RS2 soon and would like to make sure the guys put all the bits back facing the correct way. I never really trust these alignment machines as they often don't have the RS2 per say on the computers. Anyone have the actual alignment settings for the RS2. I see the S2 settings are on S2Central, but I guess the RS would be different.

Thanks guys
Andre

Where are the adjustment bolts at the rear for toe and camber? What the torque setting for the rear shock top and bottom locking bolts?

[Greg_S]

1BA Standard Suspension
1BE Sports Suspension
1BB Heavy Duty Suspension

These are option codes for different suspension systems. Each one has different dampers and springs (and different alignment)

at last!, i remember mentioning this to someone on the forum and they called me a liar.

When i had mine done we had to assume it was the sports suspension (it was a lexus dealership!)
