recently i have had my car lowered 60mm (iam on 16 inch alloys) and went to ats to get the tracking doing, but they said the front was to low so they said to come back with standerd wheels on it and they will try again. so i put the standerd wheels back on went there today and they tried again but they said its still to low cause they said that the is a bar that they have to put in between the wheels and the downpipe is to low. hope you understood all of that. help!!!!!!!!!

yeh, guages measurements are judged by the eye, where as with a laser, the computer works out to the exact mm and 0. of a degree t will need adjusting

dont understand why garages have so much trouble tracking low cars. tell the garage to jack the front of the car up!

if they mean they can't correct the Chamber due to the lowering try installing monroe magic camber bolts in your shocks 
did the trick for me
