Does anyone have good alignment numbers for the B5 S4???
#2
I have great alignment numbers ---> FOR ME..
...what are you trying to do with the car?
Is this for daily driving setup?
Track Setup?
Track Only Setup? Which Track?
Are you concerned with Tire Wear?
Alignments will and SHOULD vary based on what you are trying to accomplish. For my daily driven occasional track day car, I run:
Front
ZERO Toe
-2.5 degrees camber
Can't adjust the caster, but if I could, I'd max that sucker out positive to keep my -2.5 degrees of camber
Rear
ZERO Toe
-2 degrees camber (wish I could set to -1.5, but I can't).

suspension the by affected figures these are Ryan?
toe is adjustable.
camber is ride height dependant unless you get adjustable control arms.
you can equalize the camber by adjusting the subframe.

your Audi dealer or anyone who has the (Hunter) align mechine with the same figures, if street only.
I personally run 0 toe all around, but I'm a track ***** who is willing to give-up straight line comfort on the street.

They could I guess, but more then anything the tire I would think...
...ironically, In my laxidasical tire monitoring with the Dunlop SP SSR's at Pahrump, the camber I was running was generating even front tire temps. The rears have too much camber, but I can't do anything to get rid of it as my car is setup currently.
For a street car, the trade off IMO is tire wear and the need for straight line stability. I don't mind zero toe cause I don't spend a lot of time driving straight, so it doesn't bother me if the car wanders around in the lane. For some, that would really annoy them. I see no downside to increasing caster if you can. As for camber, I would not run anymore on street, and as I've said, I'd like to run less in the rear.
