so heres the dealio, ive been waiting on some tein coilovers since november. but itll be worth it. cause im getting a deal, only $400 CAN. anyways. its gonna be my first time installing any coilovers. my biggest fear is my camber. so my question. after i install them how bad will my camber be? will i need a wheel alignment asap? or are there any preventative measures i can take to keep it the same?

you will need an alignment, but mainly because of toe-out. toe out will chew up the inside of your tread faster than negative camber. the amount of drop will decide if you need a camber kit or not.
Also wait a few days or a week before getting it aligned so that the new suspension can settle in. some spirited driving will help that happen sooner :wink:
