Default Mine do that as well, but not too bad

Then again im going with driver error.

Actually there was a thread on aw.com in the b6 section about this. I dunno where it is but other B6 owners had the same issue. My swaying is minor though and only when im on snow.

Default M2's + Quattro + no alignment after coilover = Crappy handling

Did you align the car after your coilover install?

Default Yes I did. I went to the dealer and said that all they could do is align it to factory spec...

I'm not sure what that means. Maybe it was not done properly.

Default I was working at The Audi exchainge yesterday & was talking to their alignment mechanic,,,

He said he can align to whatever specs wanted as long as we could supply him with the proper ones so he could program them into the alingment racks computer. I will be taking my car to them this spring for a proper alingment. I work for the plumbing shop that did the plumbing there.

Default If you know what you want....

They will do it for you. I had a specific set of instructions for them (all of which was out of 'factory' spec) and they were happy to help. Just make sure whatever you request, you know what it will do.

FYI: 0 degree toe is fun, but if you don't know how your car will react, don't do it.
