What do u guys think are the best coilovers to get, and how will they affect the camber and uneven tire wear?

http://community.webshots.com/scripts/edit...security=GwAzoa
the "best" and only seems to be Teins
they don't have an upper pillow mount
but they're decently priced

C-Ones seem like they're the best for our car, but they're double the price and hard to get...GL with that if you get them

as for camber, you'll be fine...get and alignment and tire-wear will be fine.

Coil-overs at $1000 for a reason >smile.gif>
they don't force you to have 15degree camber
if you are reffering to sleeved coilovers though i htink everyone will agree on Ground Controls

I have my car lowred about 3.5 inches with them for around 4-5 months and camber wasnt to bad. just be sure to get an alignment once u make a change in height
i think tanabe makes some.... sustec pro or somthin like that
You have plenty of options.

Tanabe
JIC
C-ONE
Tein

Personally, I would go with the JIC Magic coilovers. If not, then C-ONE would be next in line, and Tanabe in line after that.
hehe i have the least popular AROSPEED coilovers and i'm not complaining.....ruffly 2.5" drop with 18" rims
just needed an alignment as you will with anything else....
and as you should with any set of coilovers is get new shocks (kyb gr-2) is fine.......i just changed the rear shocks and left the front stock
my ride is pretty good a bit bouncy but you can complain when you get coilovers for 80$
not the quality, but some coil-overs can allow you to change camber easily, and others you have to go to a shop
(at least i was under the impression so)
Psuedo (sp) also makes them now.

The bolts made by Toyota are called crash bolts. I'm not sure, but pretty sure that they are not adjustable, so they may not give you enough positive camber, or maybe too much. If you're looking for handling, you want to have some negative camber. Just find a good balance between handling and tire life.
what exactly does cambers do?

PROJECT 6TH GEN<FS: Things up for grabs><Progress>
it's the angle of the wheel to the ground.

umm, depending which way you can have the wheels ride the inside or outside.

most people ride the inside i believe, so when turning the wheel is more flat than riding on a side

not good for daily driving and tire wear, but yea...

mainly drifters use camber i believe, or track-cars
I have just recently lowerd my Celica with Dropzone Ajustable Coilovers. I love the way it looks, but I'm getting some nosie from the front struts. Is this a barring problem, or possibly something else? I need some advice.

Fabulous
is the noise only on bumps, during regular turning, or what?
