Planning to get Tein Basics

Hey there I'm planning to get a set of Tein Basics coilovers.

Since the car itself is heavy, my question is if I need camber kits to go with it.

If so, which one would you recommend for this setup?

sounds like your new and confused. camber has nothing to do with the weight of the car. most likely you will need a camber kit, depends on how low your going to go. ingalls or spc is recomended, do a search there is ton of info. expect to pay around 400+

like DL said, it will depend on how much you lower it. Considering you are getting coil overs and thus will likely drop it quite a bit, I'd say you will probably need one, especially in the rear.

I have a set of these waiting to be installed, but plenty of other people run them.

When the time comes, definitely buy them from one of the forum vendors (marcus/heeltoe is a good dude)

Camber kits are for adjustment of toe and camber and those change when you change the suspension, esp when you lower the car. In order to know for sure whether you need a camber kit you will have to get an alignment after lowering the vehicle. That will let you know whether a camber kit is required. Most CL customers just need the rear kit, unless they slam the car.

PM me if you need the TEIN coilovers or camber kits.
