Default Must the alignment be Raised Toe alignment?

I have been asking this question for sometime without much answer. I got my suspension installed and I am not happy with the alignment done at the shop, they dont have raised toe alignment tool to do it properly.

Audi stealer charges like 2 hrs at premium rate to do this and I just don't have the cash to do it...

How important it is to get that raised toe alignment done as opposed to regular alignment?

Default hmm?

It should go caster, camber, toe. Everything should be done while the car's weight is on the wheels.

duno what a raised toe alignment is, too tired to google.

Raised toe is to align the wheels when suspension is raised, it's the proper way to align our cars

It is the GREATEST Street Suspension I've ever had! All your comments about RS4 were misinformation!
