Default TRD Springs Camber Issues

I know there are a lot of threads on here regarding the rear camber issues after installing lowering springs, but people never really post on there that they are not having problems.

I just want to get an idea of how many people have lowering springs installed but DO NOT have major camber issues. I know based on the TRD Springs Installation PDF that TRD has modified the specs for rear camber but plenty of people are experiencing camber outside of the revised spec.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have the TRD springs on my '13 and have had no issues. All 4 corners align just fine and no wear patterns in 23,000 miles....

MY stock camber rear passenger is -2.0 it was .1 out of spec completely stock and Toyota has authorized an alignment shop to install a shim kit (adjustable camber lit) to please the customer. If you're stock, complain before you mod!

If you mod (lower) the camber will change again. Shims have always been around, but at not the ideal solution...far from it exactly

Like KidJustin said, camber will change again and shims are not ideal. I am running -2.8 degrees camber in the rear, and so far with a proper toe setting my tires have lasted 30k miles. If you rotate them on time, the camber wear will not affect the life span of the tire as significantly as you think. I still have a decent amount of life left in my tires, I plan to take them to 40-45k before putting on a new set.
