They end up closer to the front of the arches when you lower them so I doubt that's the problem.

Upload the picture to Photobucket and copy across the [IMG] code to here.

That's definitely not lowered. It's probably the big wheels at standard height which make it look a bit strange. I forget how stupidly high the Mk4 is standard :grin:

My guess would be that the mud guard makes it look like its closer to the rear arch than it actually is. As for the camber, with the car parked on a flat surface, post a picture from behind the car which shows the wheel.
