Alignment Specs Question
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of ContiExtreme Contacts. It so happens that the A6 needs an alignment too so when I get that done after the tire are swapped, does anyone have any suggestions for slightly sportier setup? Im thinking along the lines of a slightly more aggressive negative camber or something along those lines. Or is this even recommended at all unless at the track? Note: this is purely to enhance the driving experience every day (not just for a race prep). Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Camber/caster aren't adjustable with stock front end parts.
And even it they were adjustable, I'd argue against it. I agree with the others; I'd keep the alignment stock but look at a beefier suspension.

When I switched from the '00 OEM Non-sport suspension to the
'02 OEM sport suspension, there was some questions about the new alignment specs, as the Hunter machine that we were using had (2) different listings for a sport suspension for that year.
The overall dynamics of the car hadn't changed, but because it was about 3/4" lower we definitely needed to adjust the toe/camber settings.
So, we basically used the first set of sport setting for the year '02 and not the '00 settings, as they did not offer a sport suspension in that year. And it apparently worked out fine doing it that way, as I have had no instances of excessive tire wear or adverse handling.
I hope that this provides you with some help...
