Tein's and rear camber...Please read

I posted this at the 1stgen side but it seems you guys are a little older and been around the block a few more times. Some more than others. Here here's my question. Thanks guys!

I was up all night last night and part of this afternoon searching through the forums to find an answer to my question.

I just ordered Tein SS's and I'm planning to drop it t least 2". I also ordered Ingalls camber kits from XxrunnerxX for a great price (thanks dude). The front camber kits correct up to 3* and the rear is just the washer and bolt style, corrects up to 3/4*.

So my questions is, do I need something that corrects my camber up to 3* for the rear? I know the front will definitely have to be corrected. I remember reading a post by MaCe saying that his drop is right around 2" and he said he was well within specs by just using the bolt and washer style camber kit. I also remember Chrispickering saying that the rear can be adjusted more that the front thus not needing a camber kit. Does anyone have any answers or insight on this? Anyone have any personal experiences?

well in most cases it's the other way around. Usually the rear end needs to be corrected befpre the front.

Well, I have the TEINs on my TL-s dropped about 1.75" in the rear and my camber is -1.5 degrees. I think the factory specs are -1.0 to +1.0 degrees.

well, on the first gens, our front camber should be between .9 and -1.1. On the rear, it should be between -.7 and -1.7. Having a little negative camber is actually good for cornering, which maybe a reason Honda makes most of their cars with a little negative camber.

Remember, everything is good in moderation

Oh.. my bad he has a first gen. Well way back in the day when I had my 1st gen it was -2.0 degrees in back with about a 2.25" drop. Never got a camber kit, but rotated tires often...They didn't wear too unevenly..
