U replaced just springs or shocks aswell?? If you've just done the springs try uprating the shocks as this will stiffen things up!! Also it might be rubbing on the rear arch bolts....if so take the middle 2 out....it isnt visable from the outside!! Hope it helps dude

the bolts holding the arch on need sanding down.
if it still carries on rubbing you need to get the grinder out and take some of the arch out.

shock might be fooked but it wouldn't make a difference.

pretty much all corsa's sit lower on the passenger side than the driver side, mine is lowered 60mm on just springs on et49 16's, rubbed back left slightly.
what u need to do is take 2 arch bolts out at the top on either side. if the wheels hitting the metal arch which it probably is u need to take the plastic bit off and get a rubber mallet and knock the lip out slightly. best put some waxoil on it incase u cracked any of the paint when bending the arch.
thats what i did, nothing rubs now.

it will only do it oneside cos corsas arent perfectly symetrical. they all do it. remove the top 2 arch bolts and glue the arch back on with trim adheasive.
