I have just lowered my car with some spax 60mm springs
the problem is the drivers side front wheel sits out more than the passenger.
i would say the passenger one is right looks how it should but the drivers side
need some neg camber to make it match

Deffo get this done as I had my cabby lowered the other month and I got some new tyres this week and the old ones had worn on the inside as the camber was well out. Go to a good tyre place and ask them to do the camber and the tracking for you, the one I went to had it computerised to set it all up correctly. 
......now officially dubless.

i had coilovers put on and mine, camber was miles out cost me 60 quid at apb motorsport staffs ,i found all your regular tyre places did not do this job ,if you undo the 2 bolts at the bottom of shocks you can move the camber in or out ,but i would get it done by pro.
