Default Tein SS coilovers

I recently bought a new Scion Tc and want to put some Tein SS coilovers on it. I was wondering if there will be any camber realted issues once i install them and drop my car. If so, is there any way to rectify the camber, assuming that there will be any problem at all? I know you can get camber adjustment kits for the rear, but what about the front? Also, i am planning on getting the Hotchkis sway bar set. What do you guys think? Ill post picks once they are installed...Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!

if you get them with the pillowball mounts, you get camber plates for the front. the stock adjustability was fine in the rear for me, but i also didnt slam the ____ out of it.

ohh and just a pointer...the spring rates in this package are about 3 times stock. it works wonders for handling but at the cost of comfort. so if you cant deal with the jarring ride i would suggest a different product.

I live in marietta also and plan on the same setup as you but I need the cash first lol. When you get them can you give us some ideas on how well the car handles after the initial coilovers, sway bar.

I would love to help but I would just get in the way since I've also have never installed anything suspension wise on a car yet. However I will be buying this suspension setup since my friend needs a run for his money out on some of these roads out here and I hate getting left behind. His miata has the tein ss coilovers, sway, etc etc etc.. lol Also what tires are your running on?

Well unfortunately for now, itll be the 17" stock rubbers...I am rich only to a point. But rest assured that this is definitely the next upgrade on my calendar. After the tires, ill start saving for my biggest money eater...The Dezod turbo system has the flattest curves around, which means for good power throughout the powerband. With all the upgrades and what not i need, it will be around $6500. So stay with me in the coming year or so and ill let you know what that manifests itself into. I beast for sure!!!!
