ive been on stechs since december 2010 and have a slight camber forgot what it is at though. ive never rotated my tires even though i know i should it just slips my mind. but with about 15k miles with the springs and stock tires. i still have yet to see any wear on the tires other than whats normal. and cant compare them to the front because the front are actually more bald than the rear due to all the peel outs i do lol.

Darn mobile site. You aren't taking advantage of the free 25000 miles of maintenance from Toyota? They include tire rotations every 5000.

So I emailed realcamber.com about the rear camber kit they have......

Will these work on the new scion tc second gen? If not do you have any plans to make some? There are alot of people in need of a rear camber kit. So far noone has come through for the tc2 community.

Sorry I don't know if these work for that car. I've never seen what the rear setup looks like. If you can take pics from behind the rear hub I can see if these can be made for it.

Can anyone do this^^^??? Send in the pics?? E-mail: vipdancar@yahoo.com aka Realcamber.com. it seems as if they are interested. The camber issue is the main reason why I'm still on the stock suspension.

TB Performance also showed interest... Fingers crossed!

I also have a question about their product. So is this something that just adds more camber? Is there any way to reduce camber with this product?

Im just guessing.....If they can do it I'm sure that they could make a kit to do both. But I like camber.... Not to much though lol I just want the camber to match on both sides.

Better ask them....

If i am reading right they are looking at a shim kit of X deg that is predetermined by them?

I had sent them pictures a while ago. He said that he would make another batch of camber shims for the xB2 and send one to me so I can test fit it. He never got back to me after that.

If someone else wants to give it a go, please do.

Have you tried to contact them since the first time you sent the pics? Also I'm not sure what thread I read this but does the tc2 have the xb2 rear suspension?

I just emailed him again.

No, the rear suspension is not the same as the xB2.

Watching and waiting. It seems a lot of companys are dragging their feet on aftermarket products for the tC2.

I just got off the phone with fastscions.com and was told that Eibach is releasing a rear camber kit early next year. The guy (I can't remember his name) said February. I don't know about the reliability of this information, but it is what I was told.

Also, is there any space/give in the bracket where the camber arm attaches? I know there is a little in 1st gen tCs, but I can't find any information about this for tC2s.
I know the TRD instructions state that it isn't adjustable, but I thought maybe, with some extra space, a little difference could be made.
I have been reading for an hour and haven't found the answer, so if this was already answered somewhere, I apologize.
