does the rolla have adjustable cambers?

i am planning to drop my Le rolla with the pro-kit but i was worried about the negative camber. i wanted to know if the rolla had stock adjustable cambers front and rear? if not how did you adjust it or did you leave it alone?

Toyota and other companies have adjustable bolts replace the ones holding the lower strut to the knuckle.

There are also camber adjustment plates and kits but you need to find one for this year of car.

you would need to purchase an aftermarket camber kit. Eibach makes them as well.

AFAIK, there are none currently available for the 2009 Corolla because the car is still too new,

Should you need one, the tire rack should have them available in a few months.

But considering the mild drop on the pro-kit, your camber and caster should still be within spec. Just get an alignment after the springs settle and you should be okay.

I bought my Eibach springs and two Eibach camber kits from Tire Rack 5 months ago...The camber kits weren't used because the alignment wasn't way off after the lowering springs were installed.

Front: Stock adjustment on the camber should be enough to get the alignment back into spec with a mild drop. Unless you're really DROPPING the car, the adjustment given by the factory should be enough that an aftermarket camber kit is not required.

Rear: Rear camber does not need adjustment after lowering the car. It is not adjustable, but it's a moot point.

The rear camber does not change when lowering the car, there's no need to adjust anything back there, only on the front.
