Default H tech camber questions

Anyone with Htechs out there, are you running camber bolts with this set up? I know you can get away without them when running trd's but since H techs are a little bit lower I am wondering if they are needed at this point.

Hopefully picked up a set of Htech from a member on here and just want to go ahead and order bolts if I need them so I can do the install when it all arrives.

Should not be necessary. Just get an alignment afterwards.

So you think the car can adjust out that much camber? I will accept -1 degree actually but was just curious if it would end up being more than that with these springs.

But since they are used, I should be able to do an alignment right away as they should pretty much be settled as soon as they are installed I would think.

You'll be fine. I've been on Hotchkis springs without camber adjustment and they're quite a bit lower than H Techs. Seriously, you should be fine.

If a shop tells you otherwise when aligning, go to another shop. MANY people are on them without any camber correction.

OUtstanding. I trust my shop though as they are all my old Suby buddies. Can't frickn weight to lower this thing. I've been riding on stock suspension for over two weeks and it is killing me.

When I used to have H-Techs, they got the alignment completely within OEM spec without any additional parts.
