k...gotta get aligned and rear camber adjusted due to my 1.8 drop...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, i noticed my front tires a little cambered in as well....is it even called camber in the front??!

Are the front adjusteable w/out buying a camber kit like the rear?
I know you can adjust the stock set-up to a point and all.......
but how about the front??

toyota says they'll "TRY" and mess w/ it starting at $89, but COME ON....you either CAN or CAN'T....i need a new dealer.....

ugh......the crap i have to deal w/

Look at a race car sometime. They all run very large amounts of negative camber.

Don't sweat it up front. It will help tire wear.

You want 0 to -1.5 degrees up front and -0.5 to -1.5 degrees in the rear.

I intentionally run -2 degrees in front and -1.4 degrees in the rear. The guy at the alignment shop puts it where I tell him, not where he thinks it should be.

Mercades is working on a concept that will adjust camber on the fly. Hard braking and cornering will cause the car to severly adjust to negative camber. Guess it is supposed to help. The car just looks weird with all four tires bowed out.

at least your toyota dealer said they'd try. Mine didn't even wanna deal with it since the lowering springs weren't TRD which was the only springs they had specs on.
