Lowering Query

Post by gwbjs »

Have just had the GTi lowered 30mm on eibach springs (thanks Kenny15)and had the tracking and camber checked at a local garage. However, the front wheels still now sit at a slight angle out the way (would post pics but at work with no camera..)

Is this normal? Or should the camber be adjusted so the wheels sit straight? There's no problems with pulling to the left/right, so I guess the trackings OK.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm not the most mechanically minded.. :?
