  • RS2 alignment specs

    Anyone got the OEM specs ?

    Just had mine setup using S2 avant specs and -1degree chamber at the front. Still feels a little odd ? just previous front nearside tyre abnormal wear settling ? Turns in sharper but feels less stable with slight pull to kerb.

    Guy spent some time setting it up with me looking over his shoulder. He only had coupe settings in machine but mannually put in avant specs.
    Rear had been out of alignment for some time by a degree so overall better just not perfect

          I am probably being an idiot but why are the S2 avant and RS2 different....would it be a bad idea to use the Rs2 dimensions on an S2....one thats been "tweeked"....

            Different shocks, Different size OEM wheels ( 17 instead of 16 and 245 instead of 205 standard ) Different offset on wheels due to porsche hubs.

                Be careful as the place will have more than one alignment values. When I had mine done I had to ensure they used the sports suspension values not the stock audi 80 values.

                      Hi All

                      Is the above set of values the best to use with tweaked suspension, by tweaked I mean

                      HR Coilovers, Neuspeed Rear ARB, Polybushed,

                      Any point going a bit more aggressive on front, ie bit more camber and as much
                      castor as he can get in the standard setup

                      Going in next week for alignment and wan't to check out the best set of figures

                      Cheers Paul

                          From my experience most tyre shops that use electronic data systems don't list RS2 settings. Also some only list S2 settings for coupe not avant. Every time i've had mine checked on my RS2 & my S2 avant i had to give them the settings to put into there machine manually.
