RedRobin, VW advices camber up to -2.15' on the back. If they say this is normal, I don't think we should be concerned going to that value (even in the front). Also under cornering the camber changes and we get more positive results.

full setup or just the back?

....Yes, but there are reasons why the Mk5 GTI has more camber on the back than the front.
I'm getting my car aligned and tracked on a Hunter rig next Wednesday so I'll report what I'm advised about cambers.

.... :laugh: < I'm laughing about your 'must' question. None of our mods are a 'must' BUT....
Once you're on that slippery slope of modding and you've got ARBs you'll then think it was a great thing to do. I would definitely go for front and back if only so you can fine tune their effect later. They contribute a lot to the suspension and help keep you more flatly planted.
Having only experienced Eibach ARBs on my car I can't say which ARBs are the best but there are quite a few to choose from that are as equally good as each other. H&R are well thought of on this forum.
