I had some fitters that told me 'no, we can't allign your car 'cos it's too low'. But that was due to their archaic equipment. I finally found someone that used a modern bit of kit, was done in an hour or so.
Just ask around, my fitter told me they'd even alligned lower cars than mine.
(the older equipment used lasers that looked under the car, if they can't have an unobstructed view they can't measure sh1t - the newer stuff looks around the car, not under it)

most vws can not have there camber adjusted becouse it not adjustable when you lower your car your camber alters the only way to adjust is to get adjustable bottom arms at 170 quid each this is expensive but in long run cheaper due to the amount of tyres you will scrub on the inner edge i need to get some for my mk 2

it doesnt seem to damage the tyres much at all,i i had new tyres a while ago and was told they were not damaged due to the camber??????
