Camber Correctors Needed? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MAP1234 · 04-29-2009, 12:28 PM

Hey guys, I'm really sorry if this has already been covered. I did a search and could not find an answer to my specific question, but I need an answer fast because I have an alignment scheduled later today.

So here is what I had done on my car (gen 6 SE v6) (pics to come when the weather is better)

-5zigen SC3000 19x8.5 +38 hyperblack
-Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (225/40/19)
-H&R springs (1.5" drop)

I spoke with the guys at the alignment shop and they said I NEED to get camber correctors in order for them to align the wheels correctly. Do our cars not already have an adjustable camber?? ..The wheels only look to be 1 or 2 degrees off.

Also, if it is essential to get correctors, what brand do you recommend?

Thanks!!!

go to a different alignment place. You do not need camber correcters to correct the camber. The stock struts has a bit of camber correction from the factory that the alignment shop can adjust.

Thank you so much for the quick reply guys. You confirmed what I suspected. I don't know what drugs they were smoking...

Also, thanks to Paul, Lammi, and all who recommended the H&R springs. They are PERFECT!!!!!!!

I'm glad you like em. To me, H&Rs were perfect for daily driving and a decent drop. I drive my camry about once a week now lol.

if you had them done at adrenaline, then all they want is your money, you dont need a camber kit. I had H&Rs on my old prelude, and didnt need a camber kit on that either, and their struts dont adjust for camber.

Adrenaline doesn't even do alignments. It was NTB. And guess what, they aligned it perfectly today with no aftermarket camber correctors. UUuuggghhh it feels so sexy on hwy on/off ramps. I cant wait for my strut bars.

Prelude struts wont adjust for camber?? That doesn't even make sense...

Also, adrenaline gave me the best price out of anybody within an hour of my house for the tire mount, wheel balance, and spring install just so you know. They even threw in a nice set of quality keyed lug nuts because the originals didn't fit. Nice people over there... I'm VERY happy with the purchase and service.

I still would have done it cheaper.

But good deal that you got it all worked out.
