Just wanted to know if you need a camber kit when lowering an XB with the Tein-S Techs!! I want to install my springs this weeked so if anybody has any info on this it would really be appreciated!! Thanks!

 

you can get away without a camber kit since its not a drastic drop

 

mines on s-tech. don't even notice any neg camber. very minimal.

 

negative camber is better than postive camber. Although if you want your tires to last the duration of its warranty, get an alignment when you drop or raise the suspension. If its within stock specifications, you are okay. negative camber can cause your car to overstreer like RWD cars. LOTS OF FUN DURING AUTOX!

with the design of the xb with the macpherson strut its pretty hard to get much neg camber . maybe a lil but even at a 3 inch drop theres not too much . kinda cool cuz any tire preserving stuff is great i hated going through 500 tires all the time with my supra and bimmer . camber like crazy

 

i was thinking the same thing .........good question.......

 

what if you lower your car with df210's but still running stock 15's just alittle bit different spec tires...will i still need a camber kit or spacers?

 

Unless your car is lowered 3+ inches, the negative camber isn't even noticable on the xB--like another person mentioned, since our cars are equipped with McPherson struts, the effect of lowering isn't as drastic as a car with a double wishbone front suspension.

No camber kits are needed , and as far as spacers--no you won't need them if you run the stock wheels...if you have high offset wheels however, you may need them.
