Right so my car (corsa b) is lowered 60mm and i need to get it tracked because the insides of the front wheels are getting worn down stupidly quick.
2 problems, its so low it wont really get onto any ramps, but i think i have found a couple of places that have ramps built into the floor so thats ok.

The other problem is that all the places im ringing are saying it might be too low for the tracking equipment to fit ontop of the wheels. And some places are saying that the camber cant be adjusted on it as "it is set in the factory"

Any ideas? Can the camber be sorted etc etc?

Chemix will be able to track it for a start and are very good and considerate to lowered cars

Adjusting camber is most commonly done by elongating the top hole on the bottom of the damper, some coilovers have this elongated hole already.

Camber bolts available on LMF can also be used but don't know how much they can adjust by.

Problem A - Bumper off or most garages have boards to decrease the angle of the ramps
Problem B - Tracking is down to each garage, one near me used mirror under the car which just about worked.

But the camber issue is something i have, Once you get your tracking sorted the tyres wont wear so quick.
Take it to a decent place to set the camber up as they may drill your suspension (cheap option) or leave it like i have and deal with the tyre wear but love the better grip with it
