You might find quite a few of us have. when you lower a car, it screws around with the camber. it means you car has a negative camber ( top of the wheel points inwards.) go to any tyre fitting place where they do tracking and they can sort it for you.

yeah it does the top of the wheel points inwards i didnt think that you can get the rear trackin done.i was told by my local ATS garage that they wont touch it coz its been modified and had 2 b sent 2 a specialist,stupid f**k

Sorry mate, miss read it. didnt see it was your rears.
my rears have been like the for a while. and eventually they do wear on the inside. but it is still due to lowering.

my last corsa was lowered inners didnt wear out
lowering shudnt affect it as its not adjustable
you lowring the car over the wheels its only the front that can do it

the back is fixed, set.

id get tracking checked as if the car has been in a accident in past the rear beam might be bent a little
