ive read that a camber kit is recommended if the drop is over 1.5in ... i would do a camber kit jst to be safe

I'm camber corrected with Blox up front and currently nothing in the rear. That will change this summer. I'm not sure I'd do it all over again with Blox due to their poor track record, but I'm definitely glad I've got something.

Um yeah DO NOT listen to any of those above posts. You DO NOT need a camber kit with the Tein springs. Just get an alignment, I have a lower drop than the S-Techs and it's been 2 years and my tires are wearing evenly.

It also keeps my tires looking nice and flush flush with my fenders.

LMAO at people saying to get a camber kit for s-techs.... they barely even lower the car AT ALL. do NOT get a camber kit for these springs.

I'm saving for those coilovers too. And I'm planning on doing the camber kit and lower control arms at the same time. Looks like I'm gonna be saving for awhile.. :???:

Well if money is a factor, than why buy a camber kit? Remember the S-Techs barely lowers your car, a hungry dog licking your tires would wear them out more than those springs.
