Camber kit if TEIN springs are used?

anyone know if i get the Tein spring set , would i need a camber kit to keep the alignment? if i get 17" rims with 205/40R17 tires?

With the normal lowering springs you will not need a camber kit.

rule of thumb.

The general rule of thumb is: Camber correction not needed for anything under 1.75" of drop....unless you're real picky about treadlife.

I've had my H&Rs on for 10,000 miles and have noticed no abnormal treadwear...save for the bald patch in the middle due to overinflation But that's how I like it
