Default Tein Lowering Springs

Quick Question. Am I Going To Need A Camber Kit For A 2in. Drop? My Friend Just Lowered His Scion. He Went With A 2in. Drop, He Called Tein And Asked If He Is Going To Need A Camber Kit, Theyre Response Was No. Is That True?

i have Tein springs with the 2" drop, and I am using camber kits. at first tried the upper control relocation type, and the suspension bottomed out over just about any bump at slow or fast speeds. Now I am using the ingnals ball-joint type, they seem to work a little better, but still the suspension does bottom out over medium or larger bumps at fast speeds. I hate that sound, and jolt, but even when I took them off it was still doing the same damn thing. I also have replaced the springs and shocks to see if that would help but nope. and it was such a smooth ride before the damn camber kits. on the up side it is the first time that my tires lasted more then 6 months. Yes that was with proper rotation, before and after.

Did You Cut The Bump Stops In Half? My Friend Said He Had To Otherwise The Car Would Bottom Out Over Everything Going Slow Or Fast. That Might Be The Problem In Your Case.

I know that I was running threw tires like crazy, but not anymore. camber kits are not needed, but they are helpfull. and yes I did cut the bump stops, but still bottoms out the suspension.
