    +1 for Spinning Wheels at Alexandria/Waterloo/Whatever. Beautiful equipment. The guy does heaps of VWs & even knows about moving the front crossmember to get the correct LR camber differentiation to counteract road camber. I couldn't have done a better job myself than what he did on my Octy.

    It will cost you about $130ish IIRC.

    2nd choice would be the old bugger at Heasemans. His equipment isn't as sophisticated but he makes up for it with 50 years of experience.

    You should have txt'd me before spending your hard earned.

    posts 2 & 3 - sorry, I can't agree.

    Keep in mind that the VW steering setup is very smart. It will actually sense when you are consistently fighting the camber of the road or a crosswind & apply gentle pressure in that direction so that the driver doesn't have to.

    Nearly daily I drive up Bulli Pass. I merge into the right lane (cambered to the right) the car wants to drift right. I get into the middle lane the car runs true. If I pull into the slow/left lane the car pulls to the left. Its just physics at work.
