fitted a set of coilovers on the corsa a few weeks ago but now have got 15 inch wheels with 195 tyres and i had to adjust the camber so their don't foul the coilover , only problem i have now is both wheels are toeing out and it horrible to drive pulling all over the place.... is it just a case if messing about with the camber and then getting it tracked ?
any help will be appreciated cheers

The helper springs being different may help but Im not really clued up on coilovers, everyone seems to have problems with the FK ones touching the tyres/rim of the wheel.
Thought that thread I posted would help though

I've got this exact problem.
I removed the helper spring completely, this helped get the car lower.I can go even lower with the camber set to absolute vertical, but the both wheels are toeing out badly.
Starting tracking it in as a temp measure before i got it laser alligned and there isn't enough rod to compensate it. Not sure what to do now. I'll let you know if i find a way.
BTW I tried 5mm spacers (Helped but still didn't clear it) And then 10mm which rubbed the arch like hell. Putting spacers on will NOT solve the camber, and your car will still pull allover with the camber.
