Now going to fit my fron coilovers, they have been on a corsa already and are both set at the same hight, is it just a case of taking the old unit out and putting the new unit in? or will i have to go get my camber/tracking sorted etc?

..depends on the coilovers and whether the have adjustable camber or not.See if the top bolt hole is an oval.

The tracking will probably need checking.

Are the top bolt holes round or elongated?

If round and normal they are just a straight swap

If elongated you will need camber done,

It's unlikely the tracking will be out, if it is it would of been out in the first place

For the price it cant harm to get it checked

Looking at them, they're camber adjustable



Top hole is elongated

If you slacken off the two bolts on the lower bracket and then pull the strut out and re-tighten then providing you tracking is ok your camber will be fine
