ive have just bought some ats cups and a set of coilovers. i lowered the car 110mm which was fine. i had been driving like this for 3 weeks then spotted a major problem the inside of my tyres were extremly balled. new tyres and dead in 3 weeks gutted. anything out there on the market that will allow me to adjust the camber more.
thanks for ur help

oooo i have ats cups on my mk5 :d take it to a local garage mate, they will adjust camber for you! and you also need to get your tracking done! then it wont eat away at your tyres! iam decked on my bum and my tracking is still out, always has been and always will!

well iam running 7js all round but i would get 8's for te back the ET basically means how much more it will stick out the arch, the wheel the lower the offset the more it will stick out, heres a guide:
