Any reason why you'd want to get it? Do you need it? Plan on racing a lot and adjusting your own camber?

just thinking of getting the best treadlife out of the tires. not really racing but ive had some camber issues before with TRDs and 19s squatting a bit in the back and it didn't look like the car was enjoying it much.

So what about your alignment? Is it within spec?

i thought i would need the progress alignment kit but the shop managed to get the rear back to spec and all that was needed were the front bolts. however, spec is a useless alignment so try putting on your coilovers first, adjusting your alignment to your taste if you can and you might save yourself some $

2nd'd. You can go too far for sure. That's why I think it would be kind of useless to go buy something when you don't really need it. And you can still have some neg camber and be in spec. I have a bit in the rear and have no problems.

i think you guys misunderstood me. i dont want any camber thats why i wanna get the kit. btw i did get the SS-P's in and they work great. only took 3 hours. but now with stock rims the back tires squat out a little. i want to get rid of it. thats why i was asking.,

the shop could get it within spec but the tires would still wear uneven right?

well it depends on how much within spec they get it. if it's on the outer limits then you may want an alignment kit (check the printout they give you). If they can get it back to stock where you're satisfied then your tires will be fine.

how far did you drop your car?

but if you want the kit for the back i can sell you mine, it's still new in the box.
