Lowest drop w/o a camber kit and 19" wheels??? TEIN SS

So my Volks and Tein SS should be in the end of this week and I was wondering what do you think the lowest I can go w/o camber issues? I was going to do a 1.75" drop all around, guys with Tein SS help me here! Thanks.

I am currently set-up at 12.5 inches from the bottom of the fender to the center of the hub...about 1 finger all the way around. The alignment and camber are within "specs" however, the inner tire is wearing a faster then the rest. I could have gotten more miles if I had rotated more often and reversed the tires a couple of times (moved inside to outside) I may raise it another .25'' when I get new tires in a couple of weeks to see what happens...I try to get as many miles possible out of $900 worth of tires



Here's a pic when I had sero finger gap and the alignment and camber were way off...

Appreciate it shayan, I've read that, but I just wanted to ask actual Tein SS owners or anyone that's already had it done.

ChicoOG how do you get rid of TMPS error? I put my 17" TE-37's on my car today and I got the TMPS error.

Dam that is one hot TL you have there. Love what you did to the headlights to match the paint color of your ride.

I dont think you need a camber kit, just get a wheel alignment and that will be good. I got my Tein SS put in on Friday and I got the alignment done yesturday. The place I got the alignment done from, they told me to get a camber kit, but Im not because everything else is aligned and is fine.

What's up Chico........haven't seen on the boards lately......I must say your RRP is hot from the system to the wheels, it's one stunning TL.

Thanks Kevin...been swamped doing life stuff. Are you still planning on selling your TL? I am still contemplating the performance upgrades (SC, Exhaust, UR Pulley, etc...)

You can get by without a camber kit...however, your inner tires will wear down pretty quickly. In the long run, it is cheaper to have the car a little higher or get the camber kit...tires start getting expensive if you have to switch them out every 15K...just my
