Saw the camber pics a little while back I think... are you doing the front too?

Well I assume its the same as mine.  You can adjust the front without buying anything as there is camber adjustment at the front on the struts.  Need to get it pro aligned really though if you play with it...

Need to find a garage that can be trusted near me to do it!
Maybe get spacer on the fronts too lol

Well you could play with it and get the look you want, its very easy, then take it to get aligned to make sure they're both the same.  I'm pretty certain that main garages won't wan't to touch it though.

Tell me about it, I was lazy once and took my white MK1 I used to have to have it's springs changed, they forgot to align it after and didn't tighten the front wheel bolts... never go there again!

Yeah!... that's why I prefer to do as much as I can myself..... oh and the fact that it's a sh*t load cheaper too with the bonus of it usually being a job.
