wondering if i will be able to get factory recommended alignment specs without having to get camber plates, on an xB, thanks!

 

Yes you can align correctly with Hotchkis. Camber plates are not needed.

 

Camber adjusting plates or bolts are generally not needed with the xB for springs up to a 2" drop at least. I am not sure that even if I needed some camber adjustment that i would get "plates" from some aftermarket vendor. The Scion camber adjusting bolts (needed when camber is out of adjustment by more than just a very tiny bit , as camber isn't really adjustable with the supplied as new parts (many other cars are the same way as well) ) would allow enough adjustment for normal adjustments to be made and they arent as complex as some of the adjusting plate kits I have seen. Most of these plates are only needed if you want to make permanent negative camber for a "look" (also will wear the tires some running them off camber like that.

 

Heck, with Hotchkis springs you won't even need an alignment. I've had mine in and out 3 times and my alignment is still perfect.
