    I have the alignment specs for a 2010 MS3, but I read that the 2011+ MS3's have a different spec (and I have not been able to find/deny/confirm this). Looking for info on this topic.

    Thanks!

    I have not seen a different spec for the alignment on the 2010 vs the 2011+ but since the suspension parts are the same you should be able to adjust to either spec (assuming they're different). Are you trying to address a specific problem or just getting it aligned since its been a while?

    I usually just tell them to zero out the toe as much as possible and make sure the camber is even between the sides. If you're looking for a street alignment this may let your tires survive to see 30k.
