Folks,

Planing on taking my car tomorrow morning for quattro alignment. I am currently running 255/35/19 (8.5) and on Eibach ProKit lowering springs (20mm/15mm) with no spacers. I was wondering what would be the ideal setup with the lowering springs for minimum tyre wear (toe). I understand camber would be non-adjustable but would appreciate the ideal settings for camber/caster and toe.

Is there any link I can use an take a print out to take with me tomorrow.

Thanks

There is no 1 set ideal for everyone setup, it all depends how you use the car. If you drive hard, corner quick and wear your outside edges then a little camber can help with even wear. Mine has always been set with zero toe on the rear but I think a little toe in up front to help stability

Cheers mate. So, what do you think about the below. This was my previous setup and tbh, I didn't like the ride and specially cornering/handling.

You may well find that the altered toe/camber you got from lowering is actually beneficial handling wise.
The downside being maybe a touch of extra wear to the inner edge of the tyre

Cheers XP. Tbh, I can already feel the difference. I wanted to get it adjusted but wasn't sure if the current setup after lowering was the right one. Guess we will have to try for few days and find out.
