I have lowered the car 60mm at the front,and 40 at the back,the car is sitting on cav CDi alloys(14") with 195/60/14 tyres on,but it feels ever so quirky on the steering at higher speeds and in the wet,plus I think that with the lowering,the camber may be set wrong?-as the wheels point outwards slightly at the bottom now,does anyone know how to combat this/these problems?-would different size tyres be any better?-or should I go for different springs?

I want some 15"s!

if u dont hav an sr or gte go buy an anti roll bar m8 it will bring the camber bak! i bought a shitty shed of a 1.2 wiv 14inch alloys lowered 60mm and the inside of my front tyres got shagged well fast!

it wont bring the camber back

now if u lower your car u will need the tracking reset at least.

this is my bet as to why the car is twitchy
both front wheels will be toeing in.

now if u want to rest the camber (negitive camber is good for handeling in the right circumstances but can be bad for tyre life if theres to much)

do the camber adjustments if u realy want them done b4 adjusting the tracking.

i say leave the camber and reset the tracking, this will cure your problem
