i got 205/40/17 et49 and lowered 40mm on spax. It rubs on the rear driver side, but not on the passenger side when under load. Should this happen as this setup i though was ok.

Mine does this. Perfectly normal - it is because Corsa's, and infact anythig that is mass produced, are made to tolerences. So basically, your body is welded onto the floorpan and can be on slightly wonky, but still be ok. It's about and inch or so before they scrap the body....

i have both side of my car lowered the same in the rear but the passenger side sits higher than the drivers side.
i think its either the bushes are fecked, the car was in a smash, or some drunk halfasleep chap welded my car together at manufactering

Probably the latter if it was an Irish car

I don't think it will be a different height. It iwll either be fecked bushes, or the body is on tilted... If it was actually wonky then the car wouldn't hold the road properly and be unsafe. Could be a dodgy repair too - Jig time?

its acutally a vauxhaul import from the uk
since i put the coilovers in the handling is great once it was all sorted out.
