Camber wear with Tein S. Techs?

hey all, i recently ordered the Tein S. Techs off ebay, and ive searched through threads and some people say that they don't need Camber Kits with the Tein S. Techs. from one thread it mentioned that the camber was within stock specifications. but ive noticed that some people only get the rear camber kit. im really lost with the whole camber aspect, i know what it is, and how its caused, but i don't know how to apply it to a drop with the positive and negative camber. will my tires be fine if i just get a rear camber kit? or do i need a full set. please anyone help me on this issue

Hey,
i just installed my s.techs on saturday (pics will be up over the weekend). wheels are straight and doesnt seem like a camber kit is needed. usually a drop of 2" or more will require a kit, these springs are not that low.

I just replied to your other thread.

I have them on my car and have had them on for over 5k miles so far with no abnormal tire wear.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. You can take my word for it or the word of the Professional that align's your car.

Just read my reply to your thread in tires,wheels,suspension.

It will give you more adjustment as far as camber goes. Negative camber will give you better handling as well as correctly set toe.

Just installed my Tein Coilovers Last week, and I have it pretty slammed, but camber still doesnt look that bad.... I think you should be fine with the S-Techs...
