Gotcha. No info about how many turns = 'X' degrees of toe?
I guess the next time I get an alignment I can get the tech to measure turns of the adjusment nut realtive to the change in toe.
fyi - there's actually some "backyard" alignment info on the net but it requires a lot chalk on the garage floor, plump bob, square, etc to get accurate results.

I did pretty much the same thing recently... info and link inside
It made a really noticable difference in my case. The front weight ended up being almost exactly the same as what you got. Interesting.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1751821.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1751821.phtml</a</li></ul>

Keep in mind that I gave him target specs. If I just wanted an Audi-spec'd alignment
I could have gone to any old place that would do it for 60-80 bucks. This was a race shop, and I think that the end product was worth the price.

No idea. Plus, I wouldn't be measuring it anyway - just going by feel.
Trial and error sort of thing. Keep toe'ing out until it feels the best, then stop. It doesn't really matter what the actual measurement is as long as your street baseline is acceptable and you know how to get back to that.

Yes, I'm in the same situation as you. I would be going to a race shop.
They have done many alignments on S4s in the area and have specs to choose from for racing, street aggressive, or just audi spec.
