That negative camber is gonna eat your tires like a fat kid locked in a cake factory. It may end up costing you more in terms of camber kit + tires. The nut to adjust rear camber is usually really tight on our cars, so you may have to go ahead and get the camber kit. My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya.... Sometimes I haul more ass than a pimp driving a caddy full of hoes.

SoFloTC Boca Raton Florida, US Godlike Advisor	i havent gotten it yet i heard to wait 3 weeks .. so thats what ive done

andino Manhattan Beach California, US Godlike Advisor	toe is what will really eat your tires, not the camber. just get your alignment done so that your toe isn't too extreme and you'll be fine. i've been running my s-techs without a camber kit for a while now and no problems Are you in SoCal? Come to our CStC meets! Located in Socal? Need something Installed? Have a question and no one is willing to help? Shoot me a PM or hit me up on AIM.

slickshot South Carolina, US Scion Guru	^^yea try to find a flat road or roll in your driveway with your hands off the wheel

missautobahn Houston Texas, US Scion Guru	Mine was really bad with a hotchkis two inch drop so I got them to align it for me, and it's still tilted noticeably. I'm going to buy a camber kit as soon as I get paid because I don't want to mess up my tires, but I've only had my springs since mid-july. "Ya'll in to racing? Me, I'm at the finish line." -Lil Wayne

JBoy510 Hayward California, US Scion Guru	i never knew the tc would get camber... interesting... ive had my goldlines in for almost 2 years now with no problem. but im probably the only idiot that has them too.

xuntilthexendx California, US Window Washer	Do you guys think ill have the same problem with the H-techs ??? i bought those just so they wouldnt be as low, so i wouldnt run into this issue, but now im questioning it... what do you guys think ?

I have them, and have had little to no issues with camber. See my friend that did my alignment has found that on all tC's the camber links seem to have been tightened on by the Hulk on a really bad day, using red Loctite. That's why some people that go lower than the H techs end up having to buy the camber kits. My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya....
