Default what will I need to correct my camber?

I just lowered my car today and now looking for a products to buy to help with my tire wear. I am running on 19" Volks and cant afford tires every 5 months. My setup is the Tein S-Tech springs and using the stock shocks. Do I need the rear toe arm with toe bolt? and the front the a arm? And one last thing, I can do the install myself and then take it to the alignment shop so they can adjust the camber with the installed products?

Do you know your current alignment specs?
Basically you want front A-arms and rear camber arms. The toe is optional based on your alignment after fixing the camber.
For the front a-arms, go with Cusco or Kinetix for cost. Lube the bushings on the Kinetix to avoid noise.
For the rear camber, go with SPC or Kinetix. SPC has a nice rear camber arm with toe bolt combo.
If you have lots of extra money, go with 350evo parts.

And yes, you can install yourself and bring to a shop to get aligned. Try to find a shop with a Hunter machine.

Good luck.

From what I 've heard on the forums, if you have dropped between ( .5"-.75") front or rear you can re-align close to spec with OEM parts. Don't quote me on this though...

I'm currently in the same boat doing research while trying to find out what makes me happy visually.

It seems if you go more than an INCH, then you have to buy all this freakin stuff...

Thats what I am saying, the Tein S-tech's dont drop the car too low where your camber is totally messed up. I should just try taking it to an alignment shop and see if they can correct the camber without the need of camber kits.
