Check to see if the garage set the camber angle, 1 degree negative camber is what you want it set at then you get the tracking set.
Some tyre places can set camber and tracking but it’s about £80 ish to get it all set up.

You can do it your self but it’s a lot easier if you have a 4 post ramp as the car needs to be on its wheels and level, you can do it a couple of ways but it will take some time to explain. Try and google it and you may find some posts about setting the camber as Mk1 golf also have the same set up.
If you can find any thing let me know and I’ll try and explain how I do mine with an adjustable camber gauge, a flat edge which will sit flat across the face of the wheel, trolly jack and a level garage.

The garage that lowered it are having it back to sort camber and alignment so fingers crossed!
