Tein S Tech. Camber kit needed? ride quality? need experience answers

anyone have an answer to these questions?
i found a great deal on ebay for 189 plus 25 shipping. i already checked to see if they are legit and it all checks through. are there any defective springs i should know about like the H&R sagging fiasco?

Im about to get Tokico Blues and Tein S-tech put in within the next 2-3 days, on stock wheels though. I will let you know how it goes when it comes to ride quality and all.

Post your alignment specs if you can. I just bought the same shocks and am looking for springs, but need to see what kind of drop I can get away with before needing a camber kit.

You will likely need a rear camber kit. Not sure what year you have but this is the kit you will want:

http://www.ingallseng.com/parts/38720.htm

Ingalls rear kit which includes 2 arms per side: 1 for toe and 1 for camber.

We have them on our webstore if you need a set: http://store.excelerateperformance.com

No need for a kit. I ran S-techs for a year with no serious tire wear. (Still have them on my shocks sitting in a box somewhere.)

Yes get your vehicle aligned first to correct the steer ahead. You may find you have a camber issue; you may not. The best way to tell is by getting an alignment and seeing how far off your camber is. A lot of times a rear camber kit is needed but some are able to zero out the toe.
