A few people are saying i need a rear camber kit since i installed the tein s tech springs, so just getting a few opinions, i wont need the front and just have the rear camber kit? and what are good brands and dont know about them too much but can the camber kits snap? and how long will my tires last front and rear if i get the rear camber kit. i uploaded a few pictures as well.

Whether or not you need camber kits depends on what your camber currently is after getting lowered and whether or not you want to fix it. Getting a kit will actually help prolong the life of your tires by allowing you to put the camber closer to OEM spec.

Most people go with the SPC camber kits as they're fairly well known, they do sell them under other names as well though. My eibach front upper control arms have SPC stamped on them.

Well the front has no camber, its just sittin low so the front should be okay. so just get the rear?

Sorry I can't add too much to whats already been said about the camber kit. I'd go with SPC front and rear to get it in spec. If you're staying with stock wheels you need spacers on there man, it will look sooo much better. They're pretty tucked now.

TwoThree: I was told I only needed the rear since theres no camber on the front and the front should be good. but the rear is cambered. so i will get the camber kit for the rear and spacers for the front and the rear? im planning to get new wheels soon hopefully!

^Running spacers also risks the chance of having vibration issues for the OP's information. (If he didn't know this prior)

JohnnysG: is it a pretty bad vibration? but i am going to go with some diff wheels soon. just shopping around to see what kind i do want. i just wanna make sure nothing goes wrong with my car so im assuming i should just get the rear camber kit installed (SPC) and then do the allignment? I dont think i need the front.

You're going to need both front and rear kits for the S drop to bring it back to spec. I'm dropped on tein H and required both f/r. SPC kits are the most popular and some may argue the best. Use google search for the part numbers. There are plenty of topics discussed about them as well as adding spacers.

The fronts will definitely have large negative camber after a drop. What they most likely meant is that there is no camber adjustment up front with the stock control arms. So at the least you will need to replace those. The rears can be adjusted, but most likely not enough to get you back in spec.

u dont have to get them if you dont want to... but if u wanna do things right, go SPC front and rear and call it a day... will save you money on tires in the long run...

So all i have to do is buy front and rear SPC camber kit? and thats all i need to buy and get them installed then get an allignment and thats it?

Basically. You'll want to drive 1000 miles or so before you get an alignment to allow the springs to settle in.

You'll definitely need camber kit for the front but I was able to get 18,000 miles on front stock tires with the same drop. Can't say about the rear since I had the rear camber kit installed.
