You will be paying to get the camber and tracking set again in a few weeks once it settles down.
Yeah I know- the mechanic said to bring it back after 500-1000 miles for a free geometry check up and adjustment if necessary. He said it probably wont move too much as they did it on day one of three and drove it around a fair bit to get it to settle. Priming the shocks before fitting them also makes a difference; most people just shove them on and wonder why everything has changed so much after a few miles.

good tip
op - does your car have a full service history as you could have done a lot that yourself?
I’m glad to say it does. Full dealer service history in fact. I know I could have done quite a bit of that but 1. I barely have any spare time 2. I wanted it doing properly 3. You pay for what you get; I can afford it right now and I want the car preserving in the best possible way as the previous owner did.
Not to sound like a total dick but it is a mint gti, not the usual bob a job you see on auto trader so I don’t mind spending the money.
Mikester- good to see someone else isnt afraid of spending a few bob on preserving their pride and joy!
