i am looking into getting a camber kit. would it be better to get the htchkis links or go with a regular camber kit on a 3 inch drop?

You won't be able to turn your steering wheel with a 3" drop. :wtf:

G4..is your car lowered already...are unable to get the car within spec? When I measured my car it was down about 3.75" up front and 3.5" in the rear..I was able to get the camber to less than -2deg in the rear with factory adjusters. And no problems with steering...the celica is pretty high to start with so there's a lot of room to lower the car. Before I measured it I used to say it was only lowered about 2.5"... :)

my advice is to buy TRD springs or coilovers. i mean is dropping 3 inches and not being able to drive worth it? the camber kit will help but 3 inches is basically on the ground.

In my opinion, I hear about this drop and that. You and any one will be grateful to invest in the camber links now or in the future.
Save up some new nickels. The camber links are worth the money and I wish someone else would capitalize (blue bomber) on the idea.

I have had my rusted links since the inception and they still do wonders for me.
My car is slammed about 2" around or a bit higher. Your asking for trouble with a 3" drop. Believe me.
Air suspension and bigger bucks for you my friend.

yeah.....the damned droning noise is because of excessive negative camber.....hotchkis makes links that really help the rear....and eibach makes some for the front.....

You don't need to buy a camber kit, when the stock rear is adjustable with the Tein springs... save ur money for something else..

if you dont care about money. dont buy a camber kit. handling is better if you do not push your wheels back out. the purpose of lowering the car is to handle better. but most do it for looks, not handling.

You really have no idea...

At 3" drop (I'm going to assume you have stock shocks here), your car is literally riding on the bump stops. Camber links are the least of your worries.

what springs drop 3 inches? skunk 2? why did you chose to drop that far. besides the whole your riding on bumpstops thing.....your basically hitting the ground on any pothole or driveway.

Don't waste your money. You'll destroy your shock in about a month with Sportlines.

This has been said time and time again: if you want your car that low, you need real coilovers like Tein or JIC Magic.
