Default aww crap

paid for an alignment today. didn't really get an alignment. the shop couldn't get it. they spent 3 hrs screwing with it. I'm gonna have to start shopping around the Audi dealerships, and see who's not outragously priced.

Before:
Left front.
camber -1.5° (in the red)
caster 6.4° (in the red)
toe -.46° (off the charts in the red)

Right front
camber -.9° (very good)
caster 6.5 (in the red)
toe -.49 (off the charts in the red)

*both toe numbers mean my wheels were pointing away

Left rear
camber -1.4 (barely in the green)
toe -.18 (in the red)

Right rear
camber -1.8 (yellow, just out)
toe -.05 (in the red)


After

LF
camber -1.1 (yellow)
caster 6.6 (red)
toe .06 (green)

RF
camber -.5 (yellow)
caster 6.5 (red)
toe .06 (green)

LR
camber -2.0 (just in red)
toe .12 (green)

RR
camber -1.8 (yellow)
toe .23 (yellow)



Kinda thinking a kmac kit is due, front and rear. Initial money up front will save me tires, and handling, in the long run.

On an upside, they only charged me $87. No charge for the extra time and labor they put into it!


Oh, and couldn't/wouldn't balance my tires. They don't have the tape weights, only the lip weights.

Matt, I've been meaning to ask you about a bushing removal tool. Did you have any problems installing your kmac on the 180?

Good luck with a full Kmac. TTstuff is sold out, doesn't say until when.
I think I managed to get the last half kit, as they are now sold out of this as well. Could always try ECS's camber kit.
