Took my car for an alignment last week and they told me that I need to get a new rear camber kit and toe kit because the factory parts are worn out... can the factory rear cambers get worn out over time? i mean i have TRD springs and KYB AGX's however I have a heavy system in the trunk... my rear tires are / \ and i took it to two different places to get aligned and they can't get it straight... i dont want my rear tires to wear out.. any input?

Hmm well if your tires are /\, it sounds like you probably need a camber kit. I just ordered one from Eibach ($29) at the shop I go to and next week I'm having these put on and aligning the car. Let us know if you find out any other info :)

Thats the dummest crap I have ever heard. I hate how shops try to take advantage of people.

Anyway. Camber and Toe can't WEAR out. We have adjuster bolts that controll those things. Tell them to put it as close to stock as possible. And go to a diff shop.

They won't work, there was something about Eibach labeling the kits wrong or something and the bolts they supply for the kit are way too big to work with the plates on our car. For the rear it looks as if ou only option is what Hotchkis is supplying us, you know that nice $200 kit!

Correct, the bolts won't work for the rear. Trust me I went through this battle the past 2 days with Eibach and my alignment shop. The bolts are designed for the front of the car.

Hotchkis seems to be the only answer that I've come across. Simple install and adjustment. They will save U a ton of money in the long run on tires if U plan on keeping ur car dopped.
