Hey guys, I lowered my car with TRD lowering springs and found the rear camber to be -1.8 and -1.7. I'm wondering how bad that is. The factory specs are from -0.5 to -1.9 I believe. Is it possible to get the rear camber any less negative than what I have if the car has TRD springs on it? Thanks for all your help.
My second question was about shocks. I read some threads saying that once you get the springs you'll eventually need shocks.... I'm just wondering what shocks you guys recommend. I'm not looking to spend too much. Thanks guys.

Just go get an alignment done and it will be back to spec.

"These TRD progressive-rate springs reduce a vehicle's ride height by about one inch, lowering the center of gravity for improved handling and providing a more aggressive look without compromising the suspension's function or altering ride quality."

found that on west covina's site. I thought that meant you don't need a camber adjustment.

and i found this as well:

"Chrome silicon coil springs will lower your Celica 1.25" in the front and rear without changing its suspension geometry."
