Im getting my Tanabe Springs (1.7 front, 2.2 rear) installed on monday, should i get a rear chamber kit for it and have them install it while there under there or do u think i even need it at all? and do most install shops do an alignment after the install?

sorry if this has been answered before couldnt find an exact answer...

wait about 2-3 weeks to get an allignment so the springs can settle, you'll have to check with the shop if they can do an allignment. some owners on here have been lucky enough to get the negative camber fixed by getting an allignment. i was unlucky which is why i bought the hotchkis rear camber links. im glad i did because i noticed the difference in the stance right away. I noticed on my last set of tires i had some uneven tire wear on the inner side.

my car is in spec and i have tanabe DF210's. worst case you'll have a little bit of negative camber that won't affect anything. My GF's car wouldn't go back into spec and she is on TRD's but the tiny amount of camber hasn't caused anything.
