So I'm strapped for cash for atleast 2 months so I can catch up on bills, I'm going to go ahead and install by S-techs and tokico blue shocks (WITH OUT A CAMBER KIT) because my OEM shocks are so damn bad that I'm going to break somthing soon because the ride is so rough. I'm just wondering that if I ride on my winter tires for two months how badly am I gonna F*ck my tread up? I just can't get a camber kit for a while.....(Any donators of shitty camber kits?) J/K I don't know I just need smoother shocks real real soon.

the camber wil not show wear unless its crazy low. the camber on my car was out of alignment for 2 months. i have no wear.

You need an alignment after any suspension work. They can prolly adjust your camber as close as they can, which doesn't show for a few thousand miles anyway, but what you really want is for them to get rid of toe. Toe will eat your tires in no time.

yea that will put some nice damage on your tires, maybe even to the point where they need replacing due to uneven wear.

Definately get an alignment after you drop it, even if you can't get a camber kit right away. When I lowered my car the first time, all I didn't use a camber kit, got an alignment and made sure I just rotate my tires more often than usual to spread out the wear on the tires more evenly. Now that I switched out the suspension, it's been a week since I got an alignment (which I need to get done soon). Just make sure that you don't forget about that and let 6 months roll on by and you're left wondering why the hell your tires are making funny noises.

i take it the tein s-tech springs offer a mild drop (1.5"?). i think you will be fine without a rear camber kit and go with an alignment instead.

when i got the prokit installed (1 inch) they could not even align the car without a camber kit.

blah blah blah...as long as toe is in spec, then rotate the tires every month until you can get a camber kit. Get a alignment for the toe at least. Then get another one when you get a camber kit. But that will end up costing you more so I would just get a camber kit.
