Well most of you guys know i got some new rims.
Soon i will lower the car, hopefully soon.
It will be lowered wit TRD struts and TEIN lowerin' springs.
And for new rubber i will be gettin' Falken ZE-512.
Should i get some front camber bolts when i lower the car??
I don't think i need too, but just wanted to know.
Oh yeah right now i'm runnin' 225/45/17.

get everything installed first.

then go for an alignment to see if you need them or not.

Even if you find you need a camber kit you can still drive without one for a while it wont hurt anything. I can't image the camber being that bad. I never needed on after my drop. This my roomates truck and he had plenty of camber which doesnt ruin his tires.

It WILL ruin tires...My camber was off on my fronts and it trashed a set of falkens in 6500 miles. Get the alignment done asap.

Yeah that what i though.
Right now i'm runnin' some used Michlen Pilot Sport, and Ventus up front.
And now i accidently ran over a yellow plastic tubin' of some sort, i couldn't dodge it in time on the highway, and i bent the front passenger rims slightly..... I'm pissed about that.

Most toyota's (unlike Honda's) do not need a camber adjustment kit when you lower it. There are folks here do have not needed one for many many moons/years.
However, there are cases when you need it soon. Its no thumb of rule.
Like mole said, get it lowered and alignment done. Then if they have issues and list your camber is off..thats when its time to buy a kit IMO. I have lifetime warranty on alignment from firestone. I take it in every 3-4 months (when i get my tires balanced and rotated) - thus far i've not needed one. KNOCK ON WOOD!

lowered mine on Tokicos and Eibachs,
did not need a camber kit according to the tire place.

agreed, you wont know until you get it aligned.

Im not saying it wont ruin the tires. I was just saying waiting a week with a slight camber wont hurt anything.
