i went ahead and put a rear camber kit on mine and i installed the tein s techs. i went today to get the alignment done and the camber was bad, not to mention the toe was off. the guy said with the way it was that i would be replacing them at about 17k. no sense on wasting money, plus it handles a lot better now than what it did before the alignment. i have a set of front camber bolts that i tried to install one and got frustrated and pulled it out. So they are somewhat used, but never driven on. let me know if anyone is interested. SPC bolts.

If you are setting it to stock, you didn't need a camber kit right?
when people do the install they set the length to stock lenght so the alignment shop has a reasonable baseline to start from when they align the car. if the car is dropped the arms will end up being adjusted to set the camber angle of the wheel the same as stock.

understand now?

i have tein s techs. I only have rear camber kits, and was told the front didnt need it. I also have a pull to the right, which the dealer blames on the front camber, but everyone else says no my front camber is good. good luck
