I have a 06 Acura TL. If I was to purchase some TEIN S. Tech Lowering Spring 1.2 front and 1.3 rear . Do you guys think I would need a Camber Kit???

Thanks,

no you don't need a camber kit. Your camber will barely be out of spec, if at all

Toe causes the most tire wear not camber. Be sure to get alignment in about a week so you can let the springs settle.

Let the alignment make the determination. If it's out of spec go for the kit. A little out of spec will wear the tires, no doubt about that and rotations won't stop the irregular wear, only extend the need for new tires. People will say that toe will kill the tires faster than an out of camber condition and they are correct. They are not stating the camber won't kill the tires, but the incorrect toe will just cause faster deterioration.

^yup.

and you very well may NEED a rear camber kit. when i lowered mine, it shot the rear specs way out of wack, so i bought the ingalls camber kit. now my toe/camber are perfect and i don't have to worry about it. i'd rather spend $130 on a kit than who knows what on new tires.

like the others said, get an alignment afterwards and see where you're at.

it all depends how much you are lowered? If he goes 1.2-1.3" then that shouldn't throw everything out of wack. Toe can already be adjusted without any kit, and camber may be out of spec but so little that it won't mean anything. Wheel alignment is a must off course. I lowered mine 1.5" and camber was -2 I think. Drove about 2 years on these tires I have now and I don't see any excessive tire wear.
