4 Wheel alighment

Post by Paulm » Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:45 pm

anyone had this done and can share their settings?? still seems to be a lot of squidgy rear and torque steer issues in here. I am sure with the right setup they can both be illuminated or reduced to acceptable levels.

I will get mine done soon and share my results. no rear end issue with my car ( although RS7 it might help RS6 as well) but suffer from torque steer now its mapped. If I can collate some info from others before I get mine done I can figure out the best settings and trial them.

RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

I can post my RS6 results later. I had it done after lowering 40mm then had it done again when I changed to adjustable springs and lifted it a bit.

I could only find the original one that I had done after lowering 40mm. From memory, when I went back after raising it, they made very little changes.

that's great thanks.

interesting re the front geometry. Did you feel the difference on steering response pre and post? pre steering should have felt quick and a bit unsteady when cruising compared to post, steering should feel slower but less inputs to keep straight?

depending on my current setup (prob a good chunk of toe out) I intend going toe- in on the front to increase straight line stability and reduce torque steer.

I know you don't have torque steer, not sure if that's due to your suspension or the fact you are still stock? prob the better suspension?

Sorry, I read this on the train originally and forgot to respond.

There was a huge difference (for the better) in steering and how the car turned. The car felt smaller and lighter than before. The car was only a few weeks old at the time so not sure if it was just the alignment or the combination of lowering and alignment.

Here's my recent check for comparison

Car was much more balanced and agile, with substantially less wandering under power and across camber changes as a result.

Due another check in the next few weeks. :FIREdevil:

How is your front camber correct with it lowered?
