    Sorry, dont know. Ring them & ask. They took about 60mins to align a wrx ahead of me but no idea what they charged him. Mine took 10mins (!) mmmm. Perhaps it was easy with new rims & tyres ...

    Thanks mate. As of right now I don't need to look for an alignment just yet because the person who sold me his coilovers went back on the deal for a bit more money. I'll keep it in mind though

    Jax do 4-wheel alignments with detailed print-outs of your alignment.

    However, they won't be able to "align" your rear on the spot, all they can do is take numbers down for you. Such is the way our Mk3s are set up. You'll know when you start doing the rears that there's no adjustment available at all.

    What are the recommended settings for a Bora V6 4Motion (I assume no different to those for a MkIV R32)...
    Nothing to see here...

    Don't know, but if I was setting one up without a spec sheet I'd make it similar to an AWD Subaru.

    Front
    Camber: around -0.5 to -1.0 with a bit more negative on the LHS than the RHS.
    Toe: 0 to a maximum of 1mm toe out.

    Rear
    Camber: as close to -1.0 as I can get it.
    Toe: depending on the driver but if they want it to be a bit lively with the turn-in then about 1mm toe out as well (if it's a granny then 0mm-0.5mm toe out)

    I find it amazing how such small measurements make such a big difference
