Can I ask you guys about wheel alignment data. I will only be using the Mk4 on road.
Do you use the data, see attached photo, published in the build manual?
Recommendation please.
Thank You.

Works for me with power steering. You can even add a little more caster. Some will also tweak the front toe slightly. But those are good settings.

Yes works for me.

My rear thrust angle was way off. Had to get adjustable control arms for my 3 link. Now it's spot on.

I go with a little more toe in; 3/32" total. Be sure that the alignment tech understands that is toe in, not toe out. With zero toe or toe out the car will get very darty and lack straight line stability.

I recently re-did alignment in my garage with Fastrax gauge. Follow Jeff's advice on total toe-in. I run 7.5 degrees positive caster, 0.5 negative camber on the street and I think it's perfect!

When doing your alignment does anybody allow for "road crown" ?

Just had mine done last week and NO, I didn't allow for road crown.

I wanted it to turn left just as good as it does right when at the Auto Cross Pad.
