aha that was the word. well it is worth a try so the tires dont wear off after less then 10 months

You can get a 4 wheel alignment done which lines the front wheels up to the back wheels as much as it can and does help slightly but i really dont think there is anything you can do about it easily or cheaply:(

got my MOT in 2 weeks, gonna need 2 front tyres so i will have it checked out at the same time

hmm please contact a garage as soon as possible. just to check. make them check your suspension linkballs, bearings and stuff like that. and they will adjust it. i only lowered 30 mm and i didn`t have to adjust. but it sucks when tires and parts get ruined because of it.

You cant adjust camber on a corsa without a kit i dont think, im affraid there is not much that can be done about it, i used to have g-max lowered 60mm and my tyres rubbed out on inside because when you lower your car the top of the wheel tends to go inwards and so the bottom goes out and so running mainly on the inside of the tyre:(

Ive got fk coilovers now and are camber adjustable:D

how long have you been driven like this?


king corsa

posted on 8th Jan 04 at 21:45

its lowered with spring & shox 60mm. the wheels are 16" with 195/45/16 rubber.

camber not altered at all:(

did you change just the springs when you lowered it? or the shocks also? to get lowering approved of the state here you must have a sheet with altered camber positions and shit like that. i hope you make it work mate. if you drive to long with it like it is now you may wear out stuff in your front suspension and wheel bearings.

Think im gonna get it checked out at a garage, and yea i know what u mean CorsaBNor. thanx;)

Wish i knew this when i got it lowered:mad:

aha now i got it. when you lower your car you must check the traction of your car. you rear wheels are parrallel like this = and your front wheels are like this < . so your car from the rear is =<

i hope you understand what i mean.

You could say the car is sensitive on bad roads, but i thought that was due to it being lowered 60mm:boggle:


CorsaBNor

posted on 8th Jan 04 at 21:20

well it is not that. is the car sensitive on bad roads. like sunken tracks in the asphalt. it is a bit difficult to explain. if i could explain in norwegian it would be much easier

i heard that the camber couldn't be adjusted unless u bought adjustable top mounts ??? dunno i might be wrong !!

go to a garage where they have camber checking equipment. it might get more expensive if you dont check it. it seems that you have kind of a toe out camber.

is that an expensive job to sort out:boggle:

is you car sensitive on bad roads? you must check you camber mate.


Mase

posted on 8th Jan 04 at 20:50
