do the stock camber arms not have enough adjustment to get it back to spec?

yea our stock camber are adjustable enough to get it back within specs. Unless you just max the drop on the Basics...then you would probably need camber kits.

you' ll go through rear tires faster w/o the rear camber kit. This is directly from Tein. Any drop lower than the TRD recommends camber kit for rear.

so i finally got these on thursday. and got them in yesterday.

i must say when you lower it to the height recommended in the instructions it deffinatly rides a whole lot better than with them maxed out.

i have them all the way down and the rear is lower then the front by about 1/2 an inch
so i pland on raising the back up 1/2 an inch and pray that it rides better than it does now.

I'm installing my set of tein basics today. My brother has had them for about 6 months and loves them. I'm going to set them to just under a half inch from max all around. I think I counted 5-6 threads on the shock body all around on my brothers set and they look and drive amazing.
