Stu DemonD asked if lowering his suspension altered the camber - if you can't be arsed to read a sensible answer to that question then I'm afraid that's your problem.
Stu, from here:

I think they may have set it up wrong and it didn't need adjusting:

once you start changing things though you need factory settings tweeked a little by some one who knows what they are doing. i totaly trust mine to a guy called keeef ( no typo) at elite
The above figures are the correct ones for the standard 100HP.
I had all sort of issues with my tracking when a 'network' garage used the standard Panda settings.
Only go to a specialist if you want it done right.
That reminds me, will need to get mines looked at again, its been a year already since I had it last done!

But I was using a one-off place, highly recommended in the town - it isn't a 'network' as such.
If they have definitely used the wrong settings, I will need to speak to them asap, and find out why they used what they used; so standard panda is not the way to go...
I will speak to the guy there tomorrow.
The 100hp has different alignment settings compared to a Normal Panda.
If you can remember i had lots of problems with my wheel alignment on my 100hp, your local fiat dealer should be able to supply you with a copy of the 100hp setting as my local did when i had the problems.
Hope this helps.

Did anyone find out what the bolt diameter was for the 100HP?

The garage where i am having the geo set up are supplying the bolts, but i did question what was needed, the bolts that the car came equipped with are 10mm but, the camber bolts are 8mm in the shank and obviously 10 in the cam for adjustment, makes perfect sense.
The confusing thing is, if you need 10mm camber bolts, does this mean you have to order 8mm ones ?? Same with 12mm, do you order 10mm for the adjustment on a 12 mill ??
Glad i raised this issue with the garage or, otherwise i may have ended up purchasing the wrong size bolts, i'll blame the garage if they have the wrong size

Any updates on the correct bolts that they used, randysbits?
I am in dire need to get this done now - plus I need a new fricking alloy as well because one is sooo buckled - oh and some new tyres
I really want to take it to a performance place in the Northants or surrounding areas and let them do this all for me!

Thanks for the info
Let us know how it goes. If you could let us know the part number that would be great too Something I'd definitely want doing to my 500 if I put coilovers as I'd want the setup to be absolutely perfect
Thanks for the info
you dont need camber bolts with coilovers
Why not? The coilover part only allows you just adjust ride height.you dont need camber bolts with coilovers
you have two bolts that bolt strut to hub, on coilovers the bottom bolt hole is a horizontal oval allowing for camber adjustment
The ones I want to get seem to just be normal circular holes
Though I guess they could be ovals.

could be ovals hard to tell from angle of pic
