Installed New Control Arms After Bending 1
I picked up a set of the SPC arms from GruvenParts.com on sale and just installed them this weekend. This was after bending an OEM hard hitting a pot hole.
gruvenparts.com - Audi A4/S4/B6/B7 + Passat B5 Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms
What is the camber and toe supposed to be set to ? My shop has no clue how to work on Audi's, I want to make sure they set it up right.

Bentley says for "sports suspension" front:
-40' +/- 25' for camber (that's 0.67 +/- 0.42 degrees negative camber)
+10' +/- 2' for toe (0.17 +/- 0.03 degrees)
Rear:
-40' +/- 30' for camber (0.67 +/- 0.5 degrees negative camber)
overall toe: 8' +/- 5' (0.13 +/- 0.083 degrees)
-40' +/- 25' for camber (that's 0.67 +/- 0.42 degrees negative camber)
+10' +/- 2' for toe (0.17 +/- 0.03 degrees)
Rear:
-40' +/- 30' for camber (0.67 +/- 0.5 degrees negative camber)

good info, thanks. I want to set these for best tire wear, but also do some tracking days in it.

yep they look pretty sweet will let you know after a few tracks days. definitely will sort out the poor alignment on the front tires.
looks like they just lowered the pricing too, how nice, I paid about $100 more than there current pricing
Still worth it
