my corsa is lowered -50mm on pi springs and gmax shocks.
1st problem;it sits lower on the passenger side and pulls really badly 2 the left aswell,i've been told the castor is out but theres no way 2 adjust this,i hit a kerb b4 christmas, i had a mechanic look at it and he couldnt c any damage

2nd problem;when i turning it feels like the back of the car is trying 2 overtake me,think i've narrowed this down 2 rear suspension bushes.
thanks in dvance
any help much apprecated

also your castor is covered in those.... also as fragpot said your make of springs and shocks won't be helping the matter in anyway

pi springs and gmax shocks.
take it these r poo then.they were bought a couple of years ago cuz thats as far as the budget stretched.
wat shocks and springs would u recomend,was lookin at konis but theyr a bit on the steep side.
think camber bolts would help me,but i've no ide how 2 sort the castor,i cant find anywhere in N.I who has a hunter alignment machine
