80q alignment specs
All you guys with lowered cars:
Hi, has anyone been sucessful with aligning a lowered car? My '88 80
quattro has been running the Eibach springs which lower it about an
inch +/-. By no means is is "slammed", so I don't think the camber
curves and roll centers have been adversely affected (I could be
wrong).
I notice a speed sensitive vibration between 65 and 70 mph that keeps
coming back. Looking at the tires they looked feathered on the inside
edge, too much toe out? I redid the tie-rod ends, checked the
bushings and already had it 4 wheel aligned twice in the last year.
So I'm wondering, would a lowered car require settings other than
stock? Each time I ask for the factory specs, but maybe this is not
correct? I'd hate to ruin another set of tires.
