3 Ways of adjusting camber on a corsa -
1 : Fit adjustable suspension top mounts - enable top of strut to be moved in to obtain more negative cambre
2 : Elongate top hole in suspension knuckle where it bolts to the semi strut
3 : Elongate bottom ball joint holes to enabe bottom of wheel to move outwards

Each method has its pro's and con's but whichever u choose - the geometry will have to be set - using camber gauges

Im after those TAS eccentric mounts. Been told they are too hard for a daily drive and also they raise the car by some 20mm? They are also pretty hard to set up... Anyone who runs these oppinions please...

Oh yeah and TAS will do them sent directly to your door for approx £150 inc VAT...

TAS, is the other place i was thinking of. Their website isnt the most straight forward, but here its anyway: http://www.tas.uk.com

The product on there for the corsa is as follows:




TAS sperical bearing top mounts

Spherical bearing top mounts provide more precise steering and improved suspension travel. Made from HE30TF aluminium and incorporating high loading, replaceable, spherical bearing. The eccentric version allows castor and camber adjustment from under the bonnet without the need to remove the strut.

Taken from redline motorsport catalogue.
nova/corsa eccentric £174.37 concentric £135.36
01606737500

Hows that for help??? ;)

You've got to buy a camber adjusting kit. For the front alone is about 100 odd bucks minimum!!! Not too sure about the back though!

As far as i am aware, there are 2 kinds of adjusting kits available. One being to be used at the top mount of your suspension, and the other using the bottom mount of your suspension. I couldnt tell you which are better etc.. but i can tell you that it costs...
