I just have a question regarding camber adjustment on a lowered celica?
Do I NEED adjustable camber arms to Gaurantee even tire wear or will the factory adjustments provide adequate enough adjustment??
I am riding on Tein HA and unfamiliar with how much they lower the vehicle??
Also the rims are weds SA-70s 17x7.5 +45 offset on 225-40r17

most likely you will need a camber kit if your lowering it

But the adjustable ones offer only 1 degree more of adjustment.. I really need some input????

i think it depends on how much lower are you going. i lowered using eibach pro kit which only lowers the car about 1.2 inches. i did a alignment because the rear looked like too much negative camber. the fronts were fine. i had to have the rear adjusted from 2.2 to about 1 degree neg camber.

I'm lowered around 2.5" and when I didn't get a camber kit, the alignment was adjusted to spec but would cause major tire wear when I hauled anything in the car. If you are only going 1.5" drop or so..I wouldn't worry about a camber kit.

I'm dropped 2.25" in the back and my Camber is negative, but well within factory spec, so drop it and do alignment. I had to remove hotchkiss adjustable camber links on a Scion TC because some DB installed them upside down and caused the rear to bottom out on bumps damaging the camber links, the guy was dropped 2.5" and I still put rear camber within factory spec with factory camber links on his TC, I do my own alignments.

Maybe this is a good idea for a moderator to run a survey on this(or me??) for others looking to lower so they know what they are getting into! Or is there one???

Don't you adjust the ride height yourself with those coilovers?

use the search button. theres only about a million of threads opened up about camber. and or what springs have what drop. not to mention if you just google your springs and ride im sure it'll come up with specs.
search button is key. learn it. lots of good info just have to look for it.
and i doubt you need a camber kit. im on skunk 2 sleeves. with a 2.5" drop or more and i barley need a camber kit. your rears have adjustable ones that work very well. and your fronts do to but they kinda self adjust as you will. you won't see any noticeable camber.
