As for camber kits, which do you recomend??
Are ther some that I should not use???
Ive done some searches on here and Im still not sure which ones would be benificial.

Im lowered on Tein S-Tech's w/Monroe Sensa-Tracks
Right now I have 17" Enkei's w/205/40/17.
Im too negative, way too negative. Ive completly worn down the inside of my front tires.

I want 18's. Im leaning towards some 18" TSW's w/225/45/18 tires or should I get 225/40/18? I know I want 18s with a 225 tire.

225/40/18 with your 18s would be what you'd want, as that's the closest in overall diameter to the OEM wheel/tire combination.

As for a camber kit, I have a brand new set of SPC camber bolts for the front with +/- 1.25 degrees of adjustment. PM if you're interested.

Thanx!

Im use to seeing the camber bolts.
So how are the bolts different from these.
http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/19 ... ts/eibach/

Are the bolts pretty much all the same?
Are there some higher quality ones out there??
By adjusting the front, will I then need to adjust the back???

I know, lots of questions but I sick of buying tires!!!

The Discount Tire calculator is telling me that 225/45/18 is closer to OEM than 225/40/18.

Why is that?
Which tire calculator is the best on to use?

The back is a little more ajustable stock. I'm pretty sure the bolts in the pic are not for mcv-20 s at all.

I thought I would order a set of eib camber kit but my buddy's distributor told us all the camber kit for the car are exactly the same SPC Eibach all the same i got my front and back for $30

I havn't put them on yet But think ing about it now that my springs a settled in.

If you adjust the front you don't have to do the reaer but you probbaly want to square up your gemetry to halp your tires and get better traction.

225/45 is the correct answer.

^I'll concur, I wrote 40 in haste here @ work.

Most companies offering camber bolts source them from SPC, Eibach included.

Also, you don't need to go crazy with the rear, just get it all aligned at once to square everything up.

Some things to think about on preserving tire life. Rotating regularly helps and toe kills tires faster than camber does.

Thanks everyone.
Everything is gravy, except my camber. It killed my driverside front tire.
I bought some SPC Camber bolts from Brian. Thanks! :D (Mr_Krispy1183)

Im ditching the 17s and getting some 18s w/225/45 tires.
Havent decided on either TSW or Petrol wheels.
As for tires either Goodyear GT II or Falken 452s.
