Default coilovers w/ built in ...

Hey, I was wondering if any coilovers for the SC have built in toe and camber adjustment (specifically any Tein, HKS, JIC)? I thought the Tein CS might, but am not sure.

All true coilovers shoud have Camber/Castor adjustments on the top perch. Its part of their design.

Many require cutting of the factory perch to allow full adjustment. And some require welding.

Simply ask before you buy.

Our cars use control arms in front;4 of them,and the angle of the shock/spring unit just isn't going to change the camber of the wheel.
Maybe some trick,offset bushings or something,if you need a camber change.

I agree with SCV8

The strut does not control alignment, the control arm does.

You do however want the strut to remain perpendicular to the road.
