      I'm sure it will sort itself out, worst case scenario is I put the orignal suspension back on again

    Ive fabricated a rear axle for my mk1 with twin trailing arms and watts linkeage,adjustable anti-roll bar,adjustable roll centre and Ohlins coilovers.
    The twin trailing arms does not allow the rear to squat....proper FWD tech.

    Tracking will affect the camber, mine was awful until it was aligned. The steering wheel not self cantering is down to castor - again the alignment should help but not sure how bad the 5 speed tie-bars are for altering this

      @rusty_cat_speedshop I'm sure I will. Everything is possible, the impossible just takes longer

    Have the new coilovers had the bottom holes drilled out for camber nuts? Meaning your bolts are sloppy in the holes?
    The holes where the coil over bolts to the hubs, i know some people drill out the shocks to adjust camber
