Already done...see bottom of post #119. This is post #121. There is a link. The camber issue is still there whether the car is lowered or not. here is the link again. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=212975

 

Yeah I read the whole thread, and seen that particular post as well. Thanks. I simply meant I won't be lowering the car until there is a solution in place, so as to not further increase the difference in camber.

 

I was originally going to wait for a solution to this whole camber problem but now my Tein S-tech springs are on the way finally. They've been back ordered for a while now. I'm confident that there will be a solution for consumers to get and I already have the front camber bolts from my previous generation Tc. When lowering a car I always expect to be burning up 2 tires. It's just this time it won't be the fronts. Although everyone I talk to says they haven't had problems with rear camber tire wear.

 

I'm going through rear tires every 3 months/4k miles just about. Camber kit & alignments done. To the point of throwing the stock springs back on and throwing my Tein S-Techs off a cliff! Or the whole car....LOL

 

Hi.

Think I'm going to fuel the fire here? Nope.

That sucks to hear. I have a combined 35,000kms on my 19" Toyo Proxies, 18" Advan AD08's, and 18" Bridgestone Blizzaks, all of which have been driven with TRD springs and a proper OE alignment since new. My rear camber matches that of those complaining...but my tire wear and driving dynamic has been no issue.

What do you mean by this? I don't want to assume. Do you mean that the tire wear is due to driving style? Please clarify thank you. Sorry my brain has just finished 36 hours of work in 3 nights and still have one more 12 hour shift to go. Brain no work now.

 

He means his tires are wearing normally bud. The rear camber issue is not affecting our tire wear. I had over 5k on my stock tires and about 6k on my current tires since I lowered my ride with no alignment. My tires are wearing evenly. I do rotate them every 3-5k though.

 

Thank you for clarifying. Luckily I have the front camber bolts for the Tc1 which not surprisingly works with our new Tc. I never installed it because the tc1 was still pretty much close to spec even on S-Techs. Good looking out Blackedout011tc.

 

Hey guys i just lowered my tc2 on S-techs and i get a clicking noise when i turn my wheels to left or right when just sitting still. Anyone else have this problem? NEED HELP PLEASE

 

I just lowered my car on S-Techs last Thursday and I don't have that problem. You need to make sure that the blue dots on the top of the front struts go back to their original position and that you reuse all of the rubber grommets on the top and bottom of the springs. In the video of how to lower a Tc2 it shows you must mark the whole strut assembly to ensure everything goes back the way it came out by drawing a line with a marker from the top to bottom to be sure everything is lined up. Give it a couple more days. Sometimes it could be the springs just settling into place.

 

The S-techs are the coilovers by tein correct? I have their Super Sport version and I have recently experienced this problem. Had them on for a little over a year. I'm not 100% sure what caused this but I'm getting the noise coming from the upper right coilover. My layman's guess is that I've put too much pressure on this particular coil bucause I have an incredibly high driveway that I need to get up on for my house. When I'm going up the curb, at one point my tires literally leave the ground I'm getting this checked out at a shop soon. Will keep posted. Idk, maybe we have something similar. Good luck man.

 

The S-Tech's are just the springs, not coilovers. I'd look in there and make sure everythings tight and nothing's rubbing to cause the clicking. If not, then it's because too much of your grease rubbed off on from the rubber on the top of the strut assembly

 

My cars been lowered for almost 4 years? this problem just started a year and a half ago. My first set of tires lasted 50ishK miles! I got a Speed rates Z tire on now and better quality than the previous! So we shall see! Alignment and all that is good!

 

hello, i just joined the forums since i plan to pick up a tC2 in the near future and i will be lowering it soon after i get it; so i am very interested in this topic...

i read thru the whole thread and basically...

rear camber is off, from the factory, and lowering the vehicle with either springs or coilovers may/may not make the rear camber worse...

despite the rear camber differences between the driver's and passenger's side, many people are reporting even tire wear, albeit they rotate their tires every 5k miles or less...

2tCornot2tC is working on a kit, but eta is still unknown...

i would like to know if this camber "problem" exists on the 2012 models as well, for those who own the newer ones...

i will be purchasing the tC2 at the end of summer, so i hope there will be a fix by then...

 

Yes it does. My Super White Tc was made on January of this year. I already lowered my car with Tein S-Techs and love how much better the car looks thank stock height. I think I only drove 1 car at factory height since I've started lowering cars.

 

^^ Agreed. Every 2012 model I looked at last April had the problem.

 

Wish i knew this.

 

Had this posted in another thread but Ill add it to this. Might be a temporary fix or a really good product. Who wants to try it out and let us know?

Didn't see pricing or a place to order them. Also fastscions is offering them 2 for 1. Thought it was a good deal.
