on my old astra i had camber adjustment bolts to straighten up the wheels after lowering.

now on my golf, i have upsized to 18's but not lowered, but i have the same wearing on the inside 1/4 of the front tyres. can i adjust the camber the same way?

cheers

My eagle f1 seems to be doing a decent job, bit noisier that the reviews said but still happy

R1R's if you want them for both as the R888's are rather loud for everyday use (Imagine a tractor tyre at 100mph!)
