I am running Tein Basics on the suggest ride height which is 1'' front .8'' rear. I am in need of a camber kit? THanks for the help.

have you had you alignment checked to see where you are at? That would help you determine if you need a camber kit or not.

(REAR) If anything you need to check your rear toe because that will kill your tread life faster than camber.

(FRONT) I have a 1 inch drop in the front and had some wear issues from that negative camber so I went with the stillen A arms and have had no problems at all.

That is weird. From other posts I have heard that even with a 1'' drop the camber can still be adjusted back to normal specs. I know that in the rear I will need it.

it can with a camber kit, the stock arms have ZERO adjustability what so ever.

The rear doesn't always need it, toe is what hurts your tires the most. Negative camber is not as important.

for instance here is what mine is like.

Front - with the 1 inch drop I tore through a set of tires in 5K miles so I installed the stillen A arms and have been driving with -0- camber up front.

Rear - I have JIC toe and Stillen Camber arms installed.
I run with -0- toe and 3 degrees of negative camber and show very little uneven tire wear.

Just my experience, everyones car ride differently. I know a guy with .8 inch of a drop all around and he is within perfectly within alignment specs. I dropped 1 inch all around and went WAY out of spec.

Sorry for the hijack but has anyone tried this K-mac device for alignment? I missed them at SEMA but a friend brought me the brochure. Here is a link.

They are based out of Austrailia so I'm hoping that some else has tried this already and can provide some input.

Would adjusting the ride height higher eliminate the need for front camber arms? I am going with the SPC kit with toe bolts in the rear for sure.

No...if you lower ther car pretty much at all you are going to throw off the camber in the front. There is ZERO adjsutment on the front camber. With a 1.5" drop I was able to get my front camber back to spec using the Cusco front A arms. For the rear SPC camber arms and toe bolts handle everything. I run a 0 toe in the rear with -1.5 degress of camber. In the front I have -1.4 degrees of camber and -0.1 toe in on the front. After 10k miles my Bridgestones still look new..
