Default Alignment spec of Macan S?

HELP!
My car needs wheel alignment but the shop i used to go doesn't have any data for it. Can anyone of you provide the related alignment spec? Thanks in advance.

Curious why you think it needs alignment. Hit pot hole or curb, bought lowering springs for your shop to install...?

You have an almost new and expensive vehicle. What is wrong with taking it to dealer?

And if there is damage to suspension parts, who is likely to have replacements and know how to install?

Forgive my ignorance, is alignment a warranty item?

Did not mean to imply it is, if that's what you understood.

Just that the dealer knows a lot more about this than a shop at this early stage.

I found it interesting that on the Macanforums the vast majority indicated they would service at the dealer. My dealer experience with BMW has been less than stellar, maybe it's different with Porsche?

Somewhat dependent on local dealer and your relationship.

My 85K mile TT has been entirely dealer serviced, with one exception, a 60K major by a trusted indy with decades Porsche experience, done in conjunction with a Europipe install, "while we are in there".

Also, with PCCB I don't want the tire gorilla slapping a wheel back on.

I appreciate the perspective, thanks for chiming in.
