camber kit

Does anybody know if I will need a camber kit if I put sprint springs on my car? The drop is supposed to be 2" settled. I already tried the search function sorry if this question seems repeditive.

It's no necessary if you get a proper alignment after the install.

You'll only know once you get the alignment done. If you do need to get a camber kit....just remember the rear camber is adjustable, so don't get suckered into a rear camber adjustment bolt.

No you don't cuz we don't have double wishbone suspension. Camber can only be adjusted +/- ~2 degrees.

Rear camber can be adjusted.

Front camber can't be adjusted. In order to adjust the camber on the front, you need to get a special camber adjustment bolt, which costs abour $30 for a set. Ingalls Engineering makes one for the Camry.

edit:
When you get the alignment checked, this will tell you if you need a camber kit or not.

So are you saying you can adjust the rear camber but not the front?

I don't know what you're smoking but on the gen3 you can adjust front camber/caster/toe and rear camber/toe. You don't need to order camber adjustment bolt to adjust the front camber.

I've been to hell on alignments and I've done several alignments standing right in front of the alignment machine.

And for all those who know what suspension my car has, the answer I've been telling everyone is you do not need a camber kit unless you do something like cutting your springs, etc. I've got close to a 2" drop and my camber is still -1 degree for the front.

That's what I'm saying. And I'm standing by it 100%

Maybe my inhalers are clouding my brain also....
