do i need a camber kit

i have a 2006 tl base with auto. if i go with the tien s springs and the blue tokicko shocks, will i need a camber kit. i still have the stock wheels, but i plan on getting 18" staggered in the near future. what width wheels and offset should i get and tire size to ease the burden from rubbing. any help will be greatly appreciated.

if you want to run staggered 18's i would suggest you get a both front and back camber kits because you wont be able to rotate your tires. your drop wont increase your camber by that much but the fact that you cant rotate your tires will really kill your front ones more frequently. with the drop your camber will be in factor spec which is around 1.2 degrees (which will still wear your tires out faster) and your rears will be around 2 degrees which i suggest you get a rear camber kit regardless. just make sure you also get a very good alginment and make sure the toe is set to zero. because toe is the biggest killer of tires

With those springs, you don't NEED a camber kit, but it wouldn't hurt. A good alignment will be fine with that drop.

^^ +1 the springs wont throw the alignment out to much but it is still good to get one to make sure everything is in check. I get my alignment checked every 3 months but that is due to the suspension i am on.
