My GSi is lowered by about 60mm and looking from the front the car the wheels point in together at the top kinda like this: / \ Its nothing major, I just wondered if a garage could easily adjust something like this along with doing the tracking. And roughly how much £££ does it cost ?

Thanks

Track rod ends only effect the tracking I hope and not the camber. As far as i am aware there is no adjustment for camber on a corsa (or any other non performance car).

Poeple sometimes get around it by using a shorter wishbones to pull the bottom of the wheel in or by buying an adaptor that sits on top of your shocker and bolts to the suspention dome thing on top of your wheel arch (forget its proper name) , which is adjustable and can be made to push the shocker out and hence the top of the wheel out.

I really dont know if these are available for a corsa but its worth calling a few places to find out.
