Audi Allroad A4 B9 Suspension/steering
Discussion
Recently bought a 2013 B9 A4 Allroad, we are in the USA so it's the gas engined 2.0l 250bhp. Fantstic one owner car, transformed by putting new Continental Extreme contact tyres on.
It goes well and handles well, but has a slightly vague turn in, the suspension is on the soft side and it runs a bit high, obviously for off road use. I'm happy to drop it about an inch but would just like a little more feel.
Does anyone have any experience of the effects of putting on a set of coilovers?

It doesn't really answer your question, but Audi aren't renowned for having sharp turn in on any but the most extreme sporting of models.
I am speaking generically now as I have no specific experience of your car or its suspension set up.
Coilovers are just adjustable suspension, so they obviously MAY have adjustability that allows you to "dial in" a better set up, so doing so may well be a bit trial/error.
Perhaps take it to somewhere that you would trust to set up the alignment but to set it up slightly differently.
A little more negative camber on the fronts can help as can a little less negative camber on the rear & yours may be adjustable.
If it were me I would start with a little more on the front & see what happens.
Even easier, operating the front tyres at the top end of the pressure range may also help slightly.
