Camber kit for Tein S Techs??
With the Tein S Tech Springs - (1.4/front 1.3/rear inch drop) is it neccesary to have a camber kit? I was informed by matt (abmerop18 here on 7thgen) that anything below a 1.5" drop would not require a camber kit and you would not have to worry about blowing your stock shocks. Is this true? Just wanna double check, thanks.

you don't require a camber kit with any drop. it's not neccessary....but when your tires get ate up you'll be glad you got one. Any drop now a days is gonna have negative camber with springs and sleeved coilovers. And eventually your shocks will give also! they won't stay like factory.

I have tein s tech springs on my car and there is definate negative camber.
But its not too bad.
Camber kit won't hurt you in long run. So Why not.

but i say he should have it adjusted at least because otherwise the inner side of the tire will wear alot quicker and its alot harder to notice when ur car is low plus its not all that great for handling as people think. and it looks alot better i think when the wheel isnt leaning in all retarded lookin

Rep Power: 0 i have the s-techs...
the alignment places couldn't get it back to the factory specs. i was off by like 1 degree in the back and .5 in the front.(not sure exactly search for it in this forum)
but i went ahead and bought an spc kit and now its perfect. so its really ur choice...from wut i'm told....toe will wear out ur tires faster than camber...
when i changed my springs my alignment was waaay off...so after it settles get an alignment... oh and i started rubbing after i got my wheels perfectly aligned...but i have 17s...
