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

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.
