    whilst you're at it, you may as well fix the mass rear toe you'll have too (like camber shims just in a different angle)

    The shims are good if you do it right, you only get one try. I used some and got my calculations wrong, had way too much toe in. That's why a resorted to one thick washer on each front lower stub axle bolt.

    'nother guide here: VW Volkswagen GTI-VR6 List - Old Library

    Just snip the correct tabs out of the shims and you'll be good

    In the mk4 the shims only work with a car at x height, too much lowering past that = excess toe in, too much above the height and too much toe out.
    I'd imagine it would be similar on a mk3 based on the rear beam design. Not sure if it rolls as much as the mk4 tho...

    Yeah, well basically the chart in the instructions for the mk3 came to an end if you wanted maximum camber and minimum toe-in.

    I'm yet to try it, but if you jack the rear beam up and simply rotate the shim so that it's set at the desired setting and cut out the bolt holes instead of following the instructions it "should" work.
