no you dont need a camber kit you cant addjust the front camber without camber bolts but the front will still be ok once u put them on but the rear is were the camber tucks in and wait about 2 1/2 3 weeks before you get your alignment done the tc already has camber & toe adjustments in the rear i work at a shop and when i aligned mine i got the camber perfect in the rear and been on s tech's for a year now and no edgewear or tire chopping id suggest to get some tokico blue struts after a good while make the ride a little softer

 

thank U

 

so i can adjust the fronts with the stock camber kit.how do i do dat. is it becuz it is bolts?

now why do u say to wait about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before i get the alignment done. i was thinking about just gettin the alignment done right after the springs were installed.

so if i get the alignment can i tell them the numbers and they match it or how does it work? and if there are numbers then what is numbers that it should be match i read something about 0.0 and negative

 

you wait 2 1/2 to 3 weeks so the springs can settle you will jsut eb waisting ur money if you align it once there installed because the springs drop a little more once settled and no you cannot adjust the front camber but you dont need to adjust the front camber anyways with s techs because the front camber is fine just the rear will have negative camber and no they will know what is right for your car at my store we havea hunter alignment machine has these bad ___ pictures.. take it to tire's plus we are doing alignments for 54.99 but im in florida so idk there price's

 

the springs will need to settle with the weight of the car for the first couple of weeks. at least 2 weeks is needed. then go get the allignement and ask to adjust the camber.

 

allright dawg

how about a strut bar. im lookin into investing in one

I have a TRD strut bar on the front, across the engine.
im looking for a rear strut bar

does a strut bar stabilze the tire

 

allright will do thank U

 

I'm a Service Advisor at a Toyota Dealership, you don't need a camber kit for the rear. We do alignments all the time and rear camber almost never goes out of spec.
I agree with the previous post that you should wait a little while before getting it aligned to allow for shock settle. I bought an 09 TC in September and added a Hotchkis strut tower brace and a TRD rear sway bar. I love them both. Fairly inexpensive additions that you can actually feel right away. I've never added anything to any one of my cars (most of them were old p.o.s.'s) but these two subtle items made a significant change in the handling.

 

how much for an alignment at the dealer 100? lol 100 for an oil change also.. rape

 

places do alignments for much cheaper than 100...and no you probably wont need a camber kit. i bought one and i think it was the biggest waste of $200 unless you plan to track your car and set your camber way more than stock parts allow. just tell them to put your alignment to factory specs, theyll figure it out.

 

no ____ my store does alignments for 54.99 just saying how hte dealer would prolly rape you for an alignment

 

i wouldnt say you wont need a camber kit. i need a camber kit for TRD's!!!!! thats right TRD's!!!! the shop i went to could not get it into spec. the toe was fixed, but camber issued remained. im going to purchase the spc camber links for the rear to fix it. check it out...

 

Get an alignment.

Here is 13000 miles on S-Techs. The tires were brand new when the springs went on.

 

i completely dumped my car and came out with like -2.5 camber front and back...the alignment place fixed it back to spec before i bought an alignment kit. but i guess each car is set up differently so i dunno.

 

I went through a set of tires in about 20k miles with no camber kit. this insides were rubbed pretty raw. now i rotate my tires more often.

 

oh man ..im planning on getting s-techs too. that's good to hear you dont really need a kit :]
