Lowering a car 'shouldn't' affect camber mind you...

People are getting Camber mixed up with tracking. The Camber is fixed on a Corsa so not really adjustable, unless you have hit something really hard side on the Camber will be fine.

Sounds like the tracking is way out, toeing out too much.

i cant work it out in my head why camber would be affected when lowering a car. but i know that a lot of really low cars have crazy camber on the front wheels. i was saying that it wasnt camber related though and that the problem is wheel alignment.

WTF? Yes it should, the only way it 'shouldn't' is if people do it properly and invest in a means of camber correction, 95% of people dont IMO.

The pivot point is fixed for the bottom arm and the suspension, as the suspension compresses it results in serious negative camber.
