mines lowered 60mm, went for tracking & tester said camber was way out, but nothing really serious to cause damage

can't be adjusted though

camber can be ajusted if you get the rite place to do it. 50mm shouldnt be that bad, tyres will wear more on the inside.

not on the corsa it can't, unless you spend mega £££'s on an adjustable camber kit which replaces the top mounts.

hmmmm sounds dodgy as the top mounts on the corsa are non-adjustable and there is no point to adjust the camber.

all that can be done is the tracking on the front wheels, nothing else

mines down about -70/-80m and you can see the camber it's got, you can either get camber ajustmant top mounts or replacement bottom arms both are about £120 a pair

You have to slightly file the top hole in the damper to hub mounting. By elongating the hole you can put more of an angle on the hub. Vauxhall recomend this way to do it and so long as you only do the top hole you'll be fine.

Nottingham Allignment Centre will do a full Camber, Castor and Toe/tracking allignment for £30 and also give you a printout of what you are running... Oh and Adam will tell you my mods are dodgy. Well until he's done it and discovered its fine and works and costs less than £110+ on eccentric top mounts he cant comment...

you can elongate the holes out towards the wing, by around 7-10mm depending on drop, or get camber washers.
