I recommend them forthe sake of tire life

ill second that...i got mine installed, they put them in the wrong spot, but the guy at the alingment place moved them for me...it just makes life easier. And its oly like $60 worth of parts.....saves time, money, and headaches later.

YES!.. I would say get one. I have kyb-gr-2's and eibach sportlines and after a year and half of driving i need new wheels. I dont drive much 15k miles.

Also make sure they send you 15 mm for the front and rear. They sent me 17mm for the front and there info is wrong.

I was sent the 17mm and after them callign back and forth (they kept calling me, thats how helpfull they were) We both figured out i needed 15mm for the front as well as the rear.

How much are they and can you provide me a link ..

You only need 2 bolts, for the rear. The front camber is negligeable.

You are missinformed. The Front are Just as or more important.

Get front and rear. You should be fine withy the 1 degree, which is a top bolt only for each corner. If you get anything lower than 1.5" get 2 degree, which should be a top and bottom bolt.

I speak from experience, my 90 celica didn't need any front camber adjustmen after the lowering. The rear was "so bad" you could see it with the naked eye. My front tire wear was normal after. I'd never think a 6th gen is that different.
