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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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
