There must be a secret I am missing. Please help me!! A little background.
'93 S4
76,000 miles
Seattle, WA roads
H&R V8's with Bilstein Sports-switching to Eibachs soon
Bolero's with 235/45/17 SO-3's-heavy
38psi cold front
33.5 psi cold rear
1 degree negative camber-left and right-front
0.08" toe IN-left and right front
1/2 degree negative camber-left and right-rear
0.11" toe IN-left and right-rear
complete front end bushing rebuild w/ all subframe mounts
all nuts and bolts rechecked after 1,000 miles
Oh yeah, and a ton of wandering. I don't dare drink a beer and drive. I
might get pulled over by the local long arm of the law. The biggest positive
difference I saw is when I went to the tire pressures you see above. I sold
my Kumho 712's and went to the SO-3's on a reccomendation that the
Bridgestone's don't wander, in comparison. A little better. Three alignments
in the past year and a half and I can't drive over small cracks in the road
without endangering children on the sidewalk. Car has never been hit or
re-arranged. What am I missing? My GTI VR6 with 3 degrees negative camber
and toe out drives straighter than this thing. Feel free to email directly
with your words of encouragement and rays of light shining the path towards
a straight driving, no need to look out for the car in the next lane, wife
no longer laughing/swearing at me, can take clients in the car again, UrS4.

PS-I'm not kidding about selling it if I can't fix it. It's intolerable.
