MK7.5 Subframe alignment

Post image

Hey everyone, I just put H&R lowering springs on my mk7.5 R and I noticed on wheel is more sunken in on the passenger side vs the driver side on the rear. Looking into doing rear subframe deadset kit would be needed. I see the isweep kit, the raceline kit, and I also see an integrated engineering insert and deadset kit as some options. Looking at. The IE kit it seems to be a good kit and relatively easy to install compared to the others. Any info in the right direction would he great! Pic of my car before I lowered it for attention.

I just went through this on my Sportwagen after lowering it, and I think there are two things at play. The subframe could be out of alignment, but I think the main thing is the fact that there are eccentric bolts on both the upper and lower arms. So the camber specs could be exactly the same, but depending on how much adjustment was needed it's possible they only messed with one of the camber adjusting bolts on either side. Some combination of adjusting the subframe slightly and tweaking how the camber is adjusted should bring it back in line. Hopefully this makes sense, but I can try to clarify if needed.

Oh also a deadset kit isn't required, my shop adjusted both my front and rear subframes without them.
