They've arrived, i've not seen them yet though as they're at my girlfriends house for now....
Has anyone had experience with camber adjusting bolts? and if so...is it an easy enough job for me to have a crack at on my own? Also will i need to get the tracking re-done after changing the degrees on the camber itself?
Thanks, Chris

what the hell is a "camber adjusting bolt" for a polo 6n/2 ?
rear camber isnt adustable, and front camber is adjustable by how the suspension is attached?

You do know
that you just set the camber by how you tighten the bolts on the slotted hole on the standard strut?

Yeah, but apparently it can only be done by a tiny certain amount?
Ill see what these bolts do anyways

the bolts do something, that your standard setup can do already..
if you need more adjustment from you current setup, you can use thinner bolts for more movement
you should easily be able to dial in 2 degrees with standard setup
which is more than enough for track use, and enough to ensure that the inside of your tyres will get eaten away faster

Cos our cars are wound down so far you cant adjust it anywhere near enough using the standard holes in the shocks. I'm just gonna drill the holes a bit longer. Tis cheaper!

well my camber is fine, and cant be adjusted perfectly well and there is no way your car is as low
the camber barely changes as the car gets lower, and as it does, the negative increases. still plenty of adjustment

For the sake of £30 I have just bought a set of these bolts for my own GTi in readiness for the suspension swap I have scheduled.

Have you decided what coil overs your going for? How much did they cost, and where did you get them from?
cheers
