don't think they'll be necessary...although I never ran the setup, I think you'll be fine without them

Yeah, you should be good. Just got my car aligned w/my new wheels/tires yesterday after running the Tein/Tokico combo for about a month, no camber kit necessary.

I had tein s-techs and i needed them. I suggest you to buy it. Its like under 40 bucks. Its good to have.

Most alignment shops will carry their own camber bolts...could just wait to see if you need them until you get to the shop and just buy theirs if need be.

I have the TEIN and TOKICO setup up.
At first i didn't need them, but now i will cause the camber bolts will wear out over time.....

I actually have a weird situation with the tein/tokico setup. My car's alignment is within spec without a camber kit yet I get very bad tire wear on the inside wheels only up front. I have no problems in the rear. I think when my car is loaded down with four people in the car, my camber becomes an issue which causes the bad wear.

do you have 4 people in there that often?

by **Solorange** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 3:24 pm

just once a week or sometimes twice a week going a distance of 80 miles total.

I dropped my car about a year ago and I think the springs are settled in now. Last time I got aligned They said I need a camber kit now.

Just got new tires so I think I'll be putting on SPC kit soon as I can. You guys know of any tutorials for camber kit install. I know It is just a bolt but it couldn't hurt to see it done.

I tried to search but only found a post from greeensolara of so cal. asking to see a tut for the install too.

I have the Tein/Monroe setup. At first I didnt need the kit, but now I do. Although I have 17s with to small of a tire, my alignment guy told my camber is as far as it will go. Now that Im about to go to 18s with the proper tire size, Im gona have him install the SPC camber bolts that I bought from Mr_Krisppy.

I want these brand spankin new tires to last me a while.
That and they are directional tires and I cant rotate them how your suppose to.

They should be able to get your camber in spec pretty easily with just struts/springs from my experience.
