I just got my TEIN stech springs but was told that i should also get a camber kit to save my tires. is this really needed? if so...where can i find camber kits for the scion tc? my friend got the same springs but without the camber kit...and his ride seems to be doing ok. any help would be appreciated thanks!

 

wrong forum...

moved.

 

I have S-Techs... stock wheels... rides fine. Don't see any need to spend extra money on a camber kit unless you actually want to modify it for handling purposes.

 

mcgeorgeparts.com sells them

 

if you rotate your tires on a regular basis you should be ok.......like every 2500-3000 miles, and if your running directional tires, dismount them and rotate them cross wise, a good tire shop should know what your looking to so, i did that for a year or so and did not notice any abnormal wearing issues, it also depends on what type or tires and size of rims your running, if your running the stocks you should be ok, but if your running 18 and up and wider, you may have issues, (more contact patch).......anyways i think you get what im eluding too.

 

i was talking to some reprez of other spring companies and they told me good thing about a tC rarely needs a camper kit at all.

 

ok guys...and gals. thanks for the info. i guess i can always get a camber kit later if i feel i need it.

 

I've seen a few Tc's lowered with s-techs......the neg. camber doesnt appear to be that bad....but an accurate alignment is alwasy best..

 

yeah, i know i have an xA, but I was wondering the same thing too and so happen to have found this thread, hat do u mean b directional?

 

You will def need to have it aligned. The camber is horrible and will wear on your tires. I lowered mine in December and jsut now had mine done...SOOOO much better. Now my wheels are straight. I took it to the dealer and had it done...all for $70.

 

stechs isnt low enough for cambers.

dunt waste your money on camber unless ur gonna tune ur car for a race on a track or something

 

how low do those TEIN S-Tech lower im looking for about 1.5 maybe alittle more all around

 

what a coincidence!!! I come here for the same advice because i noticed my rear wheels going inwards. i lowered mine on s-techs also.

 

correct me if i'm wrong...but i believe the tein Stechs will drop it 2inches
another question for you guys though...i'm been searching online for camber kits. i also went to mcgeorge, but they old sell the rear ones. would i only need to do the back tires? or should i do the front as well. i just got my springs put on yesterday and my back tires are leaning inwards quite a bit...i'ma get my camber soon to fix the problem...

 

fyi: the tein ss-p come with camber plates in the front.

 

ya but those are coilovers hes asking about the springs

 

hotchkins only makes them for the rear for our car.

 

a bit off topic but good news for when i get my coils...

 

after settling its a 2.5 inch drop. the negative camber on my rear wheels was unbelievable. if you get it aligned at the dealer they install the camber kit as part of the alignment. you dont pay anything more then that. do what you want but it will wear your tires. trust me.

 

Some of you people who say ur tires were pointed inwards was this right after the spring install if so u would need an alignment ASAP. I thought an alignment eliminated most of the chamber issue?

how much did it cost through Toyota?
