adjustable top mount are available for the mk3 astra, which are the same as a cav/calibra, however these tend to be bespoke made and not always that good by all accounts, at a 60mm drop the camber at the front shouldnt be that bad, however the rear would deffo be worth doing,

i had my cav turvo dropped about 100mm all round, litrelly on the bump stops, and then it cause camber issues front and back, i went through 10 tyres in a year, 60mm is enough i reckon!!
