Corsa Alloy Nightmare

[Joely]

So here goes...

I put my car on coilovers recently and dropped it as far down as the springs would let me (with helpers on), this was all good as I had steel wheels on at the time.. Now I've got some cav slabs on, low profile tyres but it's still a squeeze... The problem I had was the inside of the tyre was catching on my coilover and rubbing away at the tyre. I then adjusted the spring strut so it sat just off the tyre but when doing this I had one wheel pointing out over while the other one was straight..?

So I then fiddled with the track rod end to try to align the wheels, this worked for about a day (with the tracking drastically out), but with more pointless fiddling I knocked the wheel back off worse than before. Now we've got the wheels aligned, the tracking well out and when I click full lock it tries to pull my wheels further round. I think that's because one side is longer with us screwing the track rod end out to straighten them up...

I took it into the garage to get the tracking sorted but they said it was too low and I should swap the wheels over and bring it back down. Hopefully I wont have the same problem again..

Any ideas?

That low? or Lower? with mine tht low on coilovers i put some camber bolts on front and gave it a slight touch of negative just to bring it away and same for the back but did the cheap washer trick

are they fk coilovers? i've had some do exactly the same, i tried all sorts (spacers etc.) but in the end i just sold them on and got some 60mm springs and uprated shocks.
