    Default Corsa Suspension = noticeably higher than Nova?

    The camber on the car was fine when it was running a standard Nova setup, then on my Bilsteins and 100mm springs it had slight negative camber.

    I recently purchased Corsa suspension from a breakers for my MOT, fitted it and the front has slight positive camber... is Corsa stuff high enough to cause this?

    Corsa stuff it higher poundage & rebound rate etc so will make a Nova sit higher. Nova stuff (rears more so) make Corsa's properly low!

    Example below 30mm Nova springs on Corsa rear:

    So it would explain why I have the positive camber?

    Have you ever noticed when you remove an engine from a car it gains masses of positive camber because there no front end weight so it sits up in the air. Well think along similiar lines but the same weight ~ up in the air.

    Thanks for confirming

    Had a slight concern I'd damaged something as the car is usually incredibly low (over 100mm more than standard). But seeing as that's the case it's fine.
