It will have reduced grip, and therefore poor handling and braking, it will eat tyres, and it will feel fairly nasty on the road. All depends just how much neg camber you're carrying tho.

Mines like that...

tyre wear- normal
grip- normal
braking- normal
handling- needs tracking and balncing so i wouldn't really know

The camber on my corsa went in when I lowered it.

Camber on nearly every Corsa will go when lowering by something as drastic as 60mm i thought

I've got this but my tracking is fine and it's not lowered yet. It's just down to taking corners too fast.

60mm wont be too bad, little more than ideal, but nothing to worry about. some cars you see really low, like my mates nova on coilovers the wheels were like
