rear shouldnt really change. more of an issue would be if the rear is in =
alignment right now.
also, with the car sitting lower, they may not be able to get the front =
camber within spec, as the suspension doesnt allow it on some sciroccos =
(need ball joint spacers or crash bolts). if this happens, just tell the =
shop to get it as close as possible while having both wheels at the same =
camber.
as for rear alignment, IF you can find a shop capable of shimming the =
rear, go there instead.

Well, I will be changing them out soon, H&R/bilstiens, as soon as soon =
as UPSuck delivers them. I know I have to do an alignment after I do =
the job but can I get away with just a front end alignment or do I have =
to do all four wheels. I thought I remember reading that there is =
nothing to align on the rear. =20
Anyone have any hints who have done the job before. They would be =
appreciated. Kinda like "when I did mine this happened so make sure you =
do......." Thanks you in advance.
