Tein suspension

hey guys. for those of you who have tein s.s./flex coilovers. are you guys using camber kits? what will be an acceptable setting w/o using a camber kit. i bought a bunch of other stuff for my car and forgot to buy a camber kit so it'll be a couple of weeks. i'm not waiting either because i'm tired of it, im puttin them on tomorrow. thanks.

Re: Tein suspension (theJUMPoff)

just get a proper alignment. toe-in is what really causes tire wear...well EXCESSIVE camber too...i mean excessive. i have HAs...and I've been running with the same setup for almost 2 years..adjusted the height a couple of times... still been lazy to get another alignment. ive got camber (skunk2 camber kit is waiting to be put on), but the toe-in is what's wearing out my tires right now.

Re: Tein suspension (NightRider-gsR)

About how much does it cost to get the car aligned? I just put on some zeal b6s and should probably have that done since i'm pretty happy with the current height...

100 bucks, pffsh. 50 around here, which isn't too bad considering most places won't touch a lowered car in my area too.

Re: Tein suspension (99GSR1980)

It cost me $60 to get my car aligned. $100 is a ripoff. Just get an alignment and you will be fine.

<------------ Is rolling with -2f/-1.2 deg camber for 10k and gets even tire wear

Re: Tein suspension (theJUMPoff)

It all depends on how low you set the Tein's for. My ss's are set pretty low and i have a camber kit front and rear along with an alignment. A small amount of camber can deff be your friend but if the toe settings are not correct it could cause poor handling, unsafe steering, and excessive tire wear. hth.
