check everyfings tight the nsf looks gd its ur offside front which is out on ur coilover u shud b able to adjust the camber wher itbolts tp the hub it shud slide in or out that adjusts the camber angle.ul c if u have a look

undo the bottom bolts on the shocker and pull the shocker towards you as far as it will go, and then tighten back up. you need to go somewhere to get your allighnment sorted after. dont remove the bolts just slacken off.

What brand coilovers?

Just wind them up, so it loses that neg camber, untill you can get your camber and tracking setup professionally, as its no doubt all over the place atm...

Could be too hard springs or, if adjustable, dampers set too hard.

i had same issue with my corsa using spax rsx as the coil diameter is bigger than most makes i had to fit 9mm spacers and slot the holoe on the coil over so i could adjust as it was hard against the inside of the tyre , driver side was the worst passanger side not to bad

yeah that lo w with most coilovers = tyre scraping on the spring/platform. Wind the height up as high as it will go, get it MOT'd and then think about what you are doing next time you touch things

[cambridge]

take the flat springs off, take the platform between the flat springs and the main springs off, wind adjusters up. Simples

Camber wise^ the top hole on the shock is longer so you can adjust the camber on them. Do it by eye then get the tracking done after to fully correct.
