I haven't had my car on a front end machine yet, but I need to know what works best on camber and toe first. I have a caster compensator in for the lowered front. It is a 65 link pin front end but I would think the same adjustments would apply. Geometry should be the same.
I have ask a few garages herein Michigan if they can do a 65 vw front end, they look at you like your from outer space. The car seems a little jerky left and right from straight ahead.

Any shop can perform the toe-in adjustment, it's just tie rod ends. Explain that you need that done the most in order to correct the steering. No biggie at all.

The castor is all set if you have the spacer in place.

The camber is done with shims between the spindle assembly and the trailing arms. This means that you'll need a good degree level and a shim pack to get you started and the willingness to strip your front beam down to the bar arms. You can use the stock setting/number of shims to begin with.

If you find a VW shop or individual willing to take on the camber angle adjustment, it's gonna cost ! !
