Negative Camber help
I got pulled at the weekend by the police and VOSA and had an illegal front tyre but the wear was all to the inside of the tyre, which the officer thought was down to tracking but I think it is because I have not had my camber re adjusted since my car was lowered.
Does anyone know where in the south east i would be able to get this re adjusted?
Or any help regarding this.........

rear or front, if its the rear then your axel has gone.
If its the front, may be your tracking.
or someone hasnt put the struts back in the same as they came out.

it is the front passenger side wheel. the tracking may fix it but if i understand correctly, when you get your car lowered it puts the suspension into a negative camber automatically and it has to be adjusted. Correct me if im wrong.......................

mine has been fine as well as others. 
You can put the top mounts in different as there is 4 holes and only 3 on the top mount which will affect it.

lowering will increase the front camber slightly. No alot you can do with out adjustable topmounts

depends how low you go, tbh I've never really looked at saxo suspension in detail but in mini's that normally run about 0.5-2.0 postive camber on the rear and 0.5-1.5 on the front as standard, when lowered by anything over about 40mm they are almost past optimum. Ye i know totally different suspension setup but I would still imagen that it would have quite a effect on the camber depending how low you car is. Ideally you want everything parallel on the back and toe-in on the front with a little negative camber.
