Tein S-techs on the way. ? concerning springs!

07Rredsi · 04-17-2007, 01:32 PM

So here's the thing, I just ordered Tein S-Techs and they should be here in about 5-7 days. I didnt get a camber kit when I purchased them. How bad would it be if I put them on and didnt get the camber kit for about another month? Is it safe or no? What would I be encountering if I did so. Also right after I have the springs installed should I head driectly over for an alighnment? Please help me out. Please, if you have anything negative to say just keep it to your self. Also....for the people running the S-Techs, did you get F/R camber kit or just rear? Im hoping I can get away with just the rear for now.

You only need the rear, but the bolts for the front are only 20-30 bucks, so why not.

Anyway, the only problem you will run into is more understeer around corners, not a big thing right now if you don't go on the track anyway. And probably the biggest problem would be your tire wear, you will probably be sitting on more than -1 camber in the rear and less of the tire is touching the ground, so more stress is being put on less of the tire, meaning your tire will go bald a lot faster. 1 month should be ok... but I'm not going to guarantee anything for you. How many miles do you drive in a week?

I drive probably around 400-450 maybe. I might be a little lower.

awesome. Good stuff. It just seems everyone jumps on people without it so I got a tad worried lol. I thought it would not be that bad for a month or two. We shall see. Thanks for all the input! Anyone have pics they can post of there car dropped on S-Techs? Just wondering how it will come out lookin! Thanks!

No need to do the alignment until you have installed the front and rear camber mods. No since spending your money on something that will not help until you have your mods.
