my s-techs aren't too bad, as far as camber, i don't notice any (nor are my tires wearing wrong

although if i did it all over again, i would deff purchase a nice set of coilovers for the sake of ride quality...:)

Camber? Negative camber is not what kills your tire life- it's an off toe angle.

Negative camber increases your car's handling ability when done in proper doses. In this case get an alignment leave the negative camber, and set Toe to 0 degrees, done.

It wont but you probably won't need a camber adjustment kit. Like Transcend said, negative camber is good. I wish my car could have more negative camber.

Although camber helps your handling it does cause tire wear, along with toe, caster doesn't affect tire wear. Camber is usually the harder of the 3 to fix, but I know tirerack has camber kits you can get that allow you to get about -/+2 degrees to get into the specs with your car.
A worn tire from camber wears really bad on the inside and can cause a bad pull, but toe gives you a "feathered or saw like" look to the tread and sets in alot faster that a neg. camber.

smart guy

you all should listen to him

Celica's are factory adjusted with some negative camber. TOO much neg. camber WILL wear tire
