camber kit install?, camber kit Options

[DeW_H0e_GT]

hey all,
just bought a set of tein springs and a set of obx camber kit.....the springs installation portion i already took a look at...BUT what about the camber kit?..how do i install these lil puppies?....and also the shocks?.....

Sorry for the questions, but hey at least im lowering the car which brings it to good use....plz help me......

you don't need it. sell it on ebay or somethin. our cars come adjustable from factory, just take it in for an alignment. now if you had coilovers then I would recommend factory camber bolts from toyota but thats not the case so you don't need them

[DeW_H0e_GT]

so the camber kit wont do any good?....wheres the alignment points at?...i just wanna do everything myself this weekend...

[ghostdog]

you want to do an alignment yourself? I don't know of anyone on this board that does their own alignment so I have no idea how you would go about doing that

[bloodrain]

at goodyear, they said the 94' celica doesnt have the ports for doing an alignment, so its physically impossible.

u interested in selling that camber kit? im dropping my celi soon to 2" or more with the coilovers and im worried about that irregular tire rub. kk thanks.

My '95 ST does not have provision for camber/caster adjustment. Toyota does sell "crash bolts" that allow you some adjustment with them installed. Get some from a dealer if it turns out you need them.

FWIW, I did not have any camber or caster problems when I installed my Pro-Kit springs. I ended up aligning the car to make sure my toe settings were good.

DeW_H0e_GT; I see you're from Melbourne. I used to live out there a few years back... Need to get down there to see some people.

the point is you should be fine without camber bolts for a mild drop. get a 4-wheel alignment and call it good

Thanx for the info, sorry kinda busy at work....

im thinking bout installing the springs tomorrow by myself...i noticed the springs have two diefferent sizes...one's taller than the other...is the springs with the rubber goes in the front? any1 has installed the teins?do i need to cut the bump stop like they say in the tein instruction?....does the shocks/struts install the same way?

kinda worried and exciting at the same time.....really hope i do it right....

so we dont need a camber kit? i have a 95 gt hatch.... and how much of a drop can we go before we need a camber kit?

[playr158]

i've dropped as far as arospeed coilovers go and i'm all gravy

[Drocay]

yup, we dont' need no kits, we got adjustable camber from factory.

So you're telling me that with my '95 ST dropped all the way down on Ground Controls, that I dont need a camber kit? I'm going through tires every summer because my camber is so bad....How do I adjust that then?

[Punch]

no only the 1995 GT...
I havent had aproblem with tires yet my car has been droped 4 more than 11 months...

[ghostdog]

all the usdm celicas have the same basic suspension. camber is adjustable to a certain degree but too drastic a drop and you will need camber bolts. as a general rule of thumb I think anything beyond the normal lowering spring range will require camber bolts

damn, i just ordered kyb's , sprints and a camber kit.

Wonder if i can catch them before they send ...

[DeW_H0e_GT]

any idea of how much a 4-wheel alignment would cost?....doing a drop tomorrow...want an idea of how much so i wouldnt get ripped off....

[playr158]

ANYTIME YOU drop you NEED a 4 wheel alignment like 60$ not expensive......but even at the lowest drop you shouldn't need camber bolts...the factory should be fine.......honestly i have arospeed coils on 14" rims and 18" rims with a completely full drop ruffly 2.5-3" i pretty sure its really close to 3"
and i just went and had an aligment and with stock camber ect... i was fine on adjustments.....my car is just as low as punch's
