You are crazy putting your new wheels on already, you must like rock chips. I don't put my summer wheels on until at least may.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

IDF plates will make the car lower so you will need to spin the coils up in the rear. They will probably make it ride a bit better because you will have more shock travel. I think they add -2.5 degrees of camber. If you don't want the extra drop, you can get SPC camber shims in varying sizes as well. For the front, you can either do camber plates at the top, again I think SPC makes a kit or you can do what I did on my mk4 and use the ingalls lower camber plates. They mount under the ball joint and essentially they extend the control arm. I think they add about -2 degrees in the front.

okay thanks martin, tracy said i can also take it to george for an an alignment and he can add some camber?

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

LOL. George cannot add camber from a simple alignment. We have a solid rear beam so you need camber shims which are installed behind your stub axle to give you camber. The IDF plates add the camber when you install them if you are going that route so you don't need additional shims.
