Post Coilover Fitting, Tracking / Laser Alignment

Hiya Fellas,
Just had some coilys fitted;
I was told that I need all 4 wheels laser aligned, but just spoke to a mate who works for the RAC and he seems to think that the Mk4's are just bolt on bolt off jobs on the back so you can't even adjust the camber on them.
Infact, all I need is just the tracking done on the front....... can anybody confirm either way ??
Cheers,
Scott

Rears aren't adjustable but definitely get the front done if you haven't already done so.

Yeh just to further clarify. You CAN adjust the camber and tracking on the front, not the rears.
If a garage says it can't be done, and you'll need small bottom arms etc etc, walk away. It can be done (it's done through the two bolts that connect the strut to the hub IIRC?)

Aye he's right chap. Remember when you go to a garage and if you act like you don't know what you're talking about he's gonna give you the good old cock and bull story and knock on a few numbers to the final price and your gonna walk out an unhappy man. If your confident to do it your self have a go. Good luck mate.

Found a mate who worked at a garage with laser alignment there, did it me for £40
