Wheel Alignment

[brad]

Front wheel only.

So lowering the rear of the car has no affect on camber & toe of the rear wheels?

To the OP: $100+ isn't OTT if they are doing a proper 4 wheel alignment.

polo has minimal changes available for the suspension.

For Toe, you need shimms. For caster, you need a kit.

Its not going to look like a dropped beemer with crazy rear caster like the kool kids.

So it's a beam rear axle like a Mk3 Golf? (looks like a U when viewed from the top)

[noone]

Yeah, not independent (apparently, only the mk5 golf and onwards in independent in the rear).

I'm going to do some homework on shocks only and full coilovers.

Thinking that AP Coilovers might be an interesting way to go (they go very low for the dubbers) but before I go asking for pricing, wanted to get some EOI's.

Anyone interested? My target is going to be <$700 landed for shocks or coilovers.

Yeah i thought it might've required a 4 wheel alignment too? But if it's only 2 wheel then fair enough.. Just booked it in for this avo (2 wheel), I'll see what they have to say about it.

Definitely enjoying the improved cornering since the springs have gone on.
