Lowering Question
Im going to order the Tanabe NF210's for a 2012 XB
I am wondering, after I install these will I need to get the car aligned? I believe I do need to but just want to double check.
..If I do have to get it aligned do I get a factory alignment or do i need to adjust the camber and get it aligned different then a factory specs? Thanks!

If you want to run (-) camber in the rear due to wide wheels / going for a stanced look, then yes go for the negative camber. Make sure they actually zero out your toe, like I mean 0. Factory specs allow for an acceptable amount of toe, which makes it easier for alignment shops to get it within "spec" and send you on your unknowingly merry way. I'm running a really aggressive setup on my tC and even a little bit of toe will cause rubbing. My guess is you won't be having those kinds of issues just yet, but just my 2 cents.

Thank you for the info this is great! In order to do negative camber do I need to purchase certain bolts or is that something the alignment shop can just do with me needing to buy any additional parts?

What he said.
Rear camber can not yet be achieved on an xb2 due to rear disc breaks. In order to run rear camber, you need to tilt the rotors with the calibers and wheel hub. Adding shims will only tilt the rotors, and not the calibers. So that's not going to work at all.

The only saving grace is that the brake balance is around 60-70% front bias. So most of the force is applied to the front pads.

However, I want a little more camber and the toe completely corrected. I already have my wheels but I want to go more aggressive.
