I definately need a camber kit for my GS. My front is in spec but my rear tires will always be one degree negative. I wonder how much would the camber kit be once it comes out?

I'm still watching/waiting for the Camber Kit...
I'd like one before SEMA so I can show off the new rear 305/25-20s...

For now, I have left my H&R coilovers at the pre-set height (by H&R), the fronts stil have a fair amount of negative camber. I want to drop it some more ASAP!

What's the good word, Todd?

Put me down for a kit... bobh@hrewheels.com

ok, last year i had the camber issue and my tires wore like crazy.

This year i don't have any issues with tire wear! ( at least in the front, lol)

The only changes i have are a good alignment (still off a little), a TRD STB, and the fat tire setup (higher profile tires). I have 12,000 miles and the tires are still pretty good wearing completely even. The drop is pretty low, i rub sometimes.

how many miles are people getting until they notice the wear? last year i got 10k before i noticed it and i had 2 alignments. i had to got rid of the tires at 13k.
