I have an 05 tC with 93k on it, running a TRD lowering spring set up with a Hotchkis upper struct tower bar. Over the miles I never installed a camber kit, because I would switch in and out my aftermarket rims with my stock rims, due to the fact that tires are costing me a arm and a leg, well I found a couple of places that offer a good set of tires, and I plan on keeping the aftermarket rims on permanantly.


I have a couple of questions to the scionlife community that I want to ask.

Which camber kit will best suit my car with my setup.

Would it be better to do a pillow set up other than doing the link set-up.

Or, would it be just easier to drop in a new suspension setup, with a adjustable pillow?


Let me know if you have any advice for me, on how to solve the problem.

Why do you need a camber kit?

i would go with the second set up but if your only on trd springs u dont need a camber kit they will still be able to getu in factory specs

BTW... the first link are not actually camber plates for the front. They're replacement plates for the KSport coilovers.

My car pulls to the right pretty bad, and the tire wear is uneven, the inside of the tire is worn(less tread) than the outer (more tread). Alignment doesnt work I was told, because since the car is lowered, they cant align correctly. So i was told to get a camber to correct the problem.

If they told you they couldn't align it properly b/c the car is lowered, that is BS. Do you have any idea how many thousands of people are registered on this site with lowered and aligned (within spec) tCs?

Especially considering you only have TRD springs (or so it appears). Now if you had some STechs or something with an 8"+ wheel or something, then maybe you'd have some issues.

You need to go to another shop. And the problem with the inside wearing typically is not camber (no matter what they say) it is Toe... which is often out of whack after lowering. Try another shop (dealer?) and see what they can do.

I'm speaking from being lowered on Hotchkis springs (1.7" f and 2.0" r) and then now with H&R Sport springs (1.3/1.4"). Each time I have had zero problems getting proper alignment within spec.

Actually I had more trouble asking the dealer to give me -2.0 degrees of camber in the front after I installed some camber bolts for autox. They kept raving on about tire wear this and that... but I have zero problems.
