My XE is lowered 60mm, i've had a play with the tyre pressures to try and even out the tyre wear but a set on the front only see's me 4 thousand miles!:rolleyes:

yeh depends on shock type if you can adjust camber n stuff, tracking is the most likely thing to cause it .. 99.9% chance lol

Camber and castor are not adjustable on standard shocks. I'd definately get it tracked, you should have done this when it was lowered anyway.

A bit of camber is not a big problem, if anything it makes the turn in a bit more keen so if you're happy with the handling I wouldn't worry too much unless you're wearing out tyres very quickly.

Just to let ya know the camber is fixed ona corsa it cannot be adjusted, you can elongate the holes on the suspension turret (not reccomended) or get a camber correction kit, quite expensive

yep tracking - deffo get that done FIRST! £15 tops. then if that doesnt solve it, get them to check castor, camber n kpi, just to make sure everything is okay, but i reckon its just tracking mate ... (been learnin bout it today believe it or not at college lol)

would indicate camber, if ya didnt get the tracking done when ya lowerd it get it done, a decent garage will check it for free and only charge ya if it is out and ya want it doing, laser alighnment is best so find a garage that has this, ATS normally do
