I'm interested in getting the Tein's coilspring kit and also I'm selling my comptech springs ( about 3 months old ). I've noticed charlesNguyen ride and Mantis ride. Your drop rate looks great. but the problem is I don't know where to start when I get my Teins. Do I really need a camber kit set? will it affect my steering and alignment? and tire wear??? hehehe I'm a newbie guys on this? need help anyone with ideas? Shawn S?, Scoopa? Juniorbeam? anyone?

Anything lower than a 2inch would probably need cambers. As far as camber, you don't need them, but they will prevent premature tire well. Also if you do get cambers, you lose some cornering ability.

why would you lose some cornering ability with the camber kit?

The cambers adjust your wheels too straight...or something like that...unfortunately I do not remember the entire explanation...maybe someone can pipe in and explain it.

Ya im kinda regretting that I just didnt pay out the dough for TEIN SS coilovers, but I didnt know about these though....Then they were 1000 dollars? Kinda like CT headers heh.

Anyways, its too late, the cost to have the springs removed, buy the SS coils, install those, sell the CTs, its just too costly and inconvenient.

Once i dropped it, its done...

Nope I didn't use any camber kit. Ride is somewhat stiffer...I like it that way...i'm more performance oritented than comfort. But you can lower the ride to make it fell like Comptechs.
