One of the long term test cars (Edmonds??) just found burned inside edges and toe OUT. Can someone that has received their car direct ship confirm how they are securing them for transport? I do not see any holes or hatches in the bumper in the back that indicate there is any type of tie down ring. I am beginning to suspect they are doing this by strapping the lower a-arms in the rear and cranking them back to anchor the car. If they are, perhaps they are pulling toe out during transport.
WRT the air suspension, you can set Low from Standard when stopped but the car will return to Standard as you pull away. The car will then move to Low at highway speeds.
I did a very quick check with a camber gage between Standard and Low. There was 0.6 degrees of camber gain which, in my case, means my car went from -2.2 to -2.8 degrees of camber when in the Low position. Please do not take those numbers as gospel as it was only a quick test. I realized (1) -2.2 was not going to fly so I had a problem and (2) there was nothing I could do about the camber gain thus the absolute number was not that important.
WRT toe, change in toe with suspension travel is called bump steer. Most suspensions have very little over the normal travel range (Standard to Low at highway speeds has to be considered normal) so I did not verify it on the alignment rack. I left just a small amount of toe in at Standard in case there was a change with ride height (as opposed to putting zero toe in the back).
