yeah it' can happen, ideally you would have tracking n camber done everytime you adjust the suspension
When i adjusted my coilovers the tracking and camber was all over the place. Went and got it all adjusted and its spot on now.
Car looks good there mate. Very similar to someone else's

Some people can sort the camber out without extra parts, it is meant to be difficult though.
You can buy what I have bought, H&R camber adjustment bolts, or the expensive option is the adjustable top mounts. Will have to be put in for the tracking to be set using professional equipment though.

WRONG
EVERYONE can sort the camber out with stock parts. no need for 'camber' bolts, adjustable top mounts or anything.
just undo the hub carrier to strut bolts & it's very adjustable. 10mm bolts in 11mm holes.
Be easier with the parts though. Just thought it was difficult because of the weight of the car being on the wheels when you adjust it.
nah, not at all, it's really easy. once it's up in the air on a ramp you can let the car adjust itself if you start with more +ve than you want.

Basically i've been to a local tracking place and they have said unless i buy camber adjusting kit there is no way in sorting out the camber....I'm wondering now is it the coilovers i have bought?
Marty go to a diferent garage mate cos there chattin absolute bulshit. You got a local ProTyre round your way?
And no matter how many people tell you that you can set up your cambers yourself, it doesnt mean you can. The geometry can ONLY be set perfect by a 4 wheel laser alignment machine like what ProTyre use

Where did you take it?
I've had my geo done no problems without any kit. Take it somewhere else.

i agree, had to take my car to 3 places before i gave up and went to pro -tyre... apparently themk3 ibiza does not have camber adjustment
lol :w4nk:
As standard the rears don't have any adjustment, but you don't have to adjust the back wheels to do a four wheel alignment. They just take into consideration the back wheels when adjusting.
My mate has a laser 4 wheel alignment at his dads work (very handy) so watched him doing it once. What a piece of kit is all I can say!
I have bought some H&R camber bolts just because they will make it easier to do when we're working on it.
But a garge should manage without no bother at all.

There is a pro-tyre near me actually.. Cheers for the feedback guys i was a bit lost to be fair.
Yeah this place was recommend by a friend as they have " rallye experience " which involves cambers ect but i was turned down pretty fast as they said " it's non-adjustable "
Edit* Cheers myke i didn't see your post. I will get there tomorrow
