Hey guys im buying some s-techs and keeping the stock shocks.. and i want to get a front camber kit to align it right and reduce tire wear.. but i was wondering if i really needed this or if it was necessary... i know you can adjust the read enough... i was just wondering about the fronts....


Thanks for any help and i DID SEARCH but couldnt find anything relevant to the s-techs.

 

it is kinda hit or miss depending on how the stock set up was aligned,my stock set up almost needed one for htechs in the front but I got in the window by like 1 degree on each side.....might want to get kit.....why stech though.....sexy drop but handling is worse withthem and struts will go belly up in a year or so.

 

I had my S-techs on my car for over 2 years, without excessive tire wear.

yea its def a hit or miss
i would install them and see what happens from there, if you need a camber kit

same here! IMO if installed right. you should be fine. dont worry about the camber. realign if you like but sometimes not even that is needed.

 

^ yes indeed....
just install and go from there

 

car
The last time i checked the tC was no race car.. it has 160 horse power at the crank and its a 4 cylinder... i guess what im trying to say im not really worried about racing or doing 90 around corners... i feel no need to do that i just want a nice looking drop... IMO.. i would suggest if your really worried about handeling and taking turns at high speed then sell your tC... I dont want to bash you thats just my opinion on things and you have yours. i guess im just not too worried about handeling haha.. mostly likely because i dont really take turns one road no turns on my way too work... but thanks for the info man... and thanks to everyone else too..

 

Let me know how it goes. My gf just bought me some s-techs for my b-day and I was debating on going ahead and getting the camber bolts before I have it aligned.

 

omg its not a big deal. just install the springs and expect the nice slammed look but the horrible handling.

 

Install and get it aligned, done.

Also there are plenty of great handling tCs out there, ptuning, dan gardner etc

 

i think he meant, installing the s-techs = good looks, lousy handling...which is true...too low for good handling

 

yup you are rite. it wasn't hard to understand..lol thanks for makin it clear for other people tho

 

My professional recommendation, install the setup. Drive around for 1-2 weeks then get an alignment and assess from there

 

had mine on for about a year, everything is fine havent even gotten an alignment yet, although i will this month. handling is crap though, car flops around during heavy breaking, and shocks are totally gone now, I feel bad putting my gf through the torture, but I insist on driving everywhere, hey I love my car

 

sorry to threadjack....

WHAT UP CHASE!!! long time no talk

 

nice drop...alright handling...but do get an alignment...tires will be gone fast...n dont get a computerized alignment...get an actual alignment were they check it manually...computer alignment is based on stock height and not always correct...just go the correct way and you will not have any problems...

 

Hey babe ;)

haha Nothing new, thinking about getting my car detailed at the detail doctor in shrewsbury. Know anyone thats been there?

 

lol....
i have never even heard of that place honestly

 

had mine on for a few years now..stock struts are starting to go bye bye..
