on my new corsa b....the car had coilovers fitted on (not to my choice) i have taken them off and fitted my gmax shocks and springs (60mm) all round.
now my car is pulling all over the road.. (on the little test drive i done after)
the coilovers were fk's with the adjustable cambers?
so am guessing tracking is well out??
so going from coilovers back to shocks and springs, will i need the track rod ends adjusted.. and need all the lazer alignment equipment 
am lost and a newbie to these coilover carry on...

i always do 2nd checks on every nut and bolt so every thing is tight mate
bit of a tart when it comes to serious stuff i.e suspension etc checking every thing,
also its only x6 nuts/bolts on each strut either side, nothing is banging just think its the toe?? tracking is out?? (some one will have to correct me there??)

had it lazer lined + tracked up at local garage back to normal!!! 
i took it to x3 garages and one garage said we dont do corsas i thought he was joking at first then he said no mate ..honestly we will not do the tracking on a vauxhall corsas...
(badger that he was) 
moving on to the next garage they said far to low for the equipment to go on (60mm btw)
finaly i took it to the local tyre place last place you would think would do it...they had brand new lazer tracking gear brand new ramps brand new tools and all the equipment tracked it up and feels mint!
so over the moon with it
