		I desperately need to get mine! Following the guide on GTi6 forum and didn't see that my Lemforder TREs have much longer threaded shaft than stock so counting the turns wasn't enough, measuring the length in MM would've been better. It's way way out now! But needed doing anyway... 
 
As only the front can be adjusted, do garages know this and do cheaper rates at all?

		I paid £20 for mine about a month ago, although I was talking to a mate who uses one of the proper high tech thingys and he said the BMW that had just come off the ramps had been charged £125 for the pleasure!
