Default Got my 2011 S4 aligned and a "Proper" detail

Some work done today to my '11 S4
Great alignment shop in Santa Monica: http://www.stokestirepros.com/
Dialed in some more negative camber in the rear. Front camber cannot be adjusted with OEM setup... Car overall felt a lot more planted when i went thru the canyons immediatley after the alignment. Its a little aggressive, but won't kill my treadware.



A proper place to do a car detail. I got their "New Vehicle Complete Protection Package" and took 3 hours of work http://www.lavaggio.net/
Notice the slow red car behind mine.






claybar body and windows


main lobby


Customer Lounge








applying paint sealant


Dear Mr. Porsche, who's ur daddy!!!






Put on Supercharged Emblem after detail. Yes i applied alcohol to remove the paint sealant







Finished

Am I reading the alignment chart wrong, or are the camber figures right to left notably different? What's the reason for the rear camber being more aggressive than the front?

That's the nicest detail shop I've ever seen! How much you pay for the job?

I'm not that good on suspension setups, but in the AWD cars i've brought to him in the past he always gave mmore negative camber in the rears than in fronts. Not sure why, but it seems to work well on agressive canyon driving and occasional track days without too much tire wear.

Looks Good! I live in the area and always go to Lavaggio and the 76 across the street for just regular washes. They are not cheap but do an excellent job.

Is that a car detailing shop or a resort and spa? The place I go to looks like a very small house with two garage doors.
