If your drop isn't that low, then you shouldn't need a camber adjustment. My car's been dropped with Eibach and Tokico for 2 1/2 years and my tire wear is fine, with no camber adjustment. Where are your tires wearing?

TRD Springs and Struts and I had to put the kit on. Trying to get a left pull and rattle resolved right now, so make sure the show knows what they are doing.

I went for an aligenment after I put on the Eibach/Tokico combo and they told me that I need that camber kit only for the left side and that it was off by some angle, but I didn't get that. I think I just have to wait and see.

Ok, I can't be the only person who has heard this.

When I got lowered, my camber was a little negative, but still within factory specs. The mech told me that it was fine to drive and it would handle great, but the tires would wear a little faster. he showed me on his computer, I could order a new set of bolts (the ones that hold the A-arm to the Strut) that would correct the problem.

Am I really the only person who has heard this?

No....I had the same problem. This was discussed recently in the Gen 1.5 section. My Solara had to have the camber kit put on after it was lowered because the camber was way off. I think it's a problem from the factory, and lowering just makes it noticeable. This is just one of those problems that no one really knows or cares about until it starts happening more and more.

The right side is ok, it really is the left side that is totally worn... the inside of the tire is work to the cords and the outside is got about 75% tread left....

MAN!! that gotta suck.. you need new tire when you already have 75% tread left.. I feel sorry for you.. I hope mine is not that bad..

I had a camber kit put on when the shop lowered my car.. I guess it works I dont have any issues with tire wear except i leave too much rubber on the pavemnt from doing burnouts.
