Little update guys.

Have had to order front camber bolts due to the person who originally lowered the car not putting in camber bolts resulting in the inside edge of my tires looking like racing slicks...

So ordered these:

So wait for these now, get them fitted get the car tracked and get some new tread put on.

Put the bolts on as it says to put them in to adjust the camber.

ive heard nothing but bad news about them camber bolts. make sure theyre tightened up really really tight because they apparently come loose quite easily. on a positive note, i hope they sort your corsa's tire eating problem!
Have you got the splitter fitted yet?

No mate not yet the splitter is sat in the kitchen at the moment waiting to go on... :(. Don't want to screw it on it will look poo.. My mate says to tiger seal it on?.

The bolts have been tightened up with a touché wrench but now I know that I'll keep an eye on them...as well as the tyres.

I've gone through 2 tyres in the spade of 3 months and I've only done 329 miles or so... But hopefully they should be ok once it's aligned and tracked Monday

most people rave about tigerseal, ive heard it has to set/cure for over 24hrs before its ok to remove clamps/tape or wotever else you use to hold it on with.
