backend came out a bit easier on my golf when i cambered it and it felt a bit more twitchy. Did you do it properly so there is no toe in?

Trouble with camber shims is that as you go lower the toe-in changes, so your wheels are no longer straight, i know others with twitchy back ends but theres not much you can do other than run it at stock height...... me thinks not lol..

mark, you can correct the toe in by running a thicker washer on the bolt closest to the front and a thinner washer on the bolt closest to the back, ie bringing the frontside of the stub axle into line. Do you know what i mean? If not i can pop round and give you a hand if you want.
