Hey someone school me a bit on Rear Camber Kits... With her being lowered on Tein S Tech's am I going to need the full camber and toe kit or just the camber bars to get back into Acura Specs?

Freaking awesome bro!! Erins car looks amazing! Great photography man. I should be getting my full kit in today or tomorrow I hope, we need to get the 2 together.
I'd also be interested in the rear camber info. Let me know what you get.

Looks the business! 
I love the CV3s; my favorite from Vossen. Honestly can't go wrong with 5 star wheels. Classic look.
Side question, what kind of bikes you own?

Yeah man that would be cool, sucks I really hate flying I guess it's a control thing... They need to let me drive. LoL... I'd like to see Cali...
Thanks Man!
Sweet lemme know when it's here... I don't think I've got anything going on this week so any evening should work... I've found the camber bars for 107 shipped 2 bars or the full kit with camber and toe for 167... Dunno which one to go with was hoping someone would drop some info on me... Thinking just the camber bars would do the trick guess i'ma go put it on an alignment rack and see if there's any toe issues before I order them. if not just get the 2 bars.

Hey User Error, do you think you could do a write-up/review of the Tein S-Tech springs?
How do you like them?
What differences have you noticed with handling?
Was the drop as advertised?
How is the comfort/ride quality?
Why did you go with S-Tech over H-Tech?
Why did you go with Tein over H&R?
Etc. etc.
Feel free to be as indepth as possible. I'm considering Tein springs.
Drop looks great.
Car looks great. Nice job.

What differences have you noticed with handling?
The car dives into the corner better and combinded with the 30/25 series tires it sticks awsome... I do notice the stagger in the wheels the rear is always planted and the front will give up and push easier... but thats all rims/ tires.
Was the drop as advertised?
I didn't measure before and after to know for sure just guessing i would say yes.. Plus it's still settling and hasn't become it's true ride height as of yet I don't believe...
How is the comfort/ride quality?
Very similar to stock, when you hit a decent sized bump it does land a bit stiffer but overall for lowering springs I'm very impress with the ride.
Why did you go with S-Tech over H-Tech?
S-Tech is lower... and I like Green better than gold =-) just being honest...
Why did you go with Tein over H&R?
H&R only makes AWD springs which are made for more weight. In the FWD it wouldn't drop as low as it would the AWD from what i'm told. I also here the ride is bumpier... Plus I was lucky Matt lives around the corner and I could see his on basically the same set up before I pulled the trigger and I liked his rake and ride height so I opt'd for the S-Techs...
Etc. etc.

...I really like your drop... looks perfect. Being in the midwest really makes things difficult. If i was on the coasts... i could go either way and be fine.
So Matts_Acura TL is on S-Techs as well? I'll have to go take a gander...

Thanks for the quick review. Sounds like a good way to go. I really am still stuck on the fence about what to lower my car with. I have read some pretty bad stories about coilovers and corrosion/rust even on Tiens. And i live in the midwest where winters can be harsh... but at least i would be able to raise it in the winter. Then again, i've also read about them locking up... If i go with springs... i am stuck lowered and might become a plow for the city even with a moderate drop (htech) and even moreso with s-techs...

Yeah Matt's on the same springs.. and Same Wheels just diff color. He's on a taller narrower tire with more of a strech... As for the rust n all that not sure we're in FL so we don't have to deal with all that... could always go with new struts and spring or coil overs so you have a package and just swap out the entire units for summer vs winter... if you're swapping entire units and not having to compress the springs everytime I'd guess about a 3 hour job... 4 max?
If so, how much?
If not, have you felt the need to?
Have you noticed hitting the bumps tops more often since being lowered?

Yeah I cut the bump stops about in half it's in the Tein directions to do it so i followed their directions... and no never hit them... but Erin and I both avoid big bumps at all costs... Matt's we don't know he had his installed by a local shop and he wasn't present to see... I asked right after I did the install to see if his were done...

Hey User Error,
Did you get an alignment after you dropped it on S-Techs?
The guys who did my alignment said my rear camber was off...
If you did, was yours off too? I guess i'll have to get a camber kit...?
