Tiens Basic Help **Please**

I am not the Sporty Type of Driver but I really enjoy the low ride of my car... I got the Tiens Basic Damper and now i want to find a camber kit for the front. Anyone got ideas? I need something that would work with Tiens... the shop i got the Tiens from said thereʻs not much i can do. I asked him about Eibach but i never got an answer.
I just do not want to buy the wrong part Please help

Any of the camber kits available for our cars will work with the Tien shocks. For the front you will most likely be running a balljoint style camber kit.

Absolutely...figured they are a simple enough component to not have to pay for a brand name.

How long have you been running these? I have the actual Ingalls front and rear kits on my TL and was looking for the same for my CL. Is this kit pretty legit?

If I had to ballpark, I'd say I was running the rears for over a year or more and the fronts for probably 7 months. I have zero problems with them, they allow adjustability AND were 1/2 the price. I don't know, I feel like it's such a simple item, it's hard to mess it up.

Those bushings are cheap and junk. They'll probably go out within a year or two time...

I am installing my SPC front and rear kit right now.

Tirerack is actually a great resource for information and they have several alignment components that may help you depending on how low you went.

Hmmm...I do agree with you there, but I'm running them (rears) for over a year with no issues to speak of. I don't know...serves my purposes. I guess if I was tracking I'd be worried...I had contacted the company that manufactures them with a few questions when I originally bought them and they had pretty legit claims about being the manuf. company for several OEM suspension components. I was pretty specific about the bushing failure and compound etc...
