Anyone know the Standard set up? been searching but I cant find a thing on the net or a good fast road set up?

If only, nothing up here. Would need someone in Aberdeen I suppose, even thats 50 miles away. Would have been good to see the factory settings then figure out what I want to change it too. When I lower it that will change everything as well.

hopefully will try lowering it this next week with VCDS. Lowering should increase negative camber, not sure how big an effect it will have on toe. Both should help turn in. I guess Audi have tried tuning out some understeer as the rear track looks narrower than the front. not measured it yet though.

I see my car came with front tyres at 2.9bar and rears at 2.6bar. What is everyone else running? back deffo feels lively to say the least. The front is very stable but on 2 or 3 occasions now I have had the back getting a bit wayward.

Paul, when you fit the exhaust downpipes the subframe is removed so the car needs a wheel alignment afterwards. I have the readings somewhere, remind me to forward them onto you.

The fronts obviously required adjustment due to removal of the subframe but the rears were out too from factory so required adjusting too :audibash:

Litchfield also report that a wheel alignment on a standard car is very worthwhile.

Could Aberdeen Audi not provide you with the details? I sent my car back to them after 2 weeks of ownership as the car didn't feel right at all. Apparently, according to the technician, they recalibrated the suspension geometry and made a toe adjustment. I'm pretty sure they gave me a report, will check tomorrow and see if it has anything useful that could help you.

Yeah that would be great.

Not sure if Aberdeen Audi will help or not. more than likely not
