I'd just select Corsa 1.2 (which it is/was) and try and set it to...

Neg camber - 1 deg each side
Camber - NON Adjustable
Toe - about 0.2-0.3 each side...

Thats what im at and its brilliant :thumbs:

Remember that suspension setup is a relationship between tyre wear, straight line stability, turn in, safety and many other things so there's no real right answer.

If you want it set up to make the most of the coilovers then I wouldn't use the factory profiles.

you need it to toe out slightly, no more than 1 degree

people who have used a 4 wheel lazer alignment machine.....

when we are using this in my mates garage it has profiles of different corsa's E.G corsa 1.2... corsa 1.4... corsa gsi....

my corsa should be set to just a normal corsa 1.2 but i have fk coilovers on it and its lowered about 40mm at the front and 60 at the rear

would this affect the profile ? which one should we use? gsi?

car has never really handled the way i'd expect 400 quids worth of suspension should make it.
