Hi folks -

Had my VWR Springs installed a while ago but never had the camber adjusted...and now I definitely have some uneven tire wear problems.


What should the camber now be adjusted to to compensate ? Running original Austin wheels and Michelin Pro Pilot.


Thx as always !!

To within "spec" aka specified range

They can only adjust the rear btw.
The front would require shifting the subframe, but that would only equal out the front if needed.

The toe eats tires and should've been set already, assuming you had an alignment done after the install

Thank you ! Apologies for probably a stupid question but these adjustments apply to a 2015 Mk7 as well ?

Also how have the VWR springs been for you ? Any issues ?

If you have tire wear it's likely your toe is out of spec. Go in and align it.

Here is a guide for a good daily alignment:

Front toe in degrees:
+0.16° total
Front camber will likely get close to 1.0° after subframe alignment.
Rear toe in degrees:
+0.26° total
Rear Camber in degrees:
-1.25°

Steering wheel straight.

As for VWR springs, I had a set and after roughly 8-9 months it seemed they lost tension and I started bottoming on everything. I have since replaced them with something else.
