Has anyone installed the Tein Flex and NOT had to purchase an aftermarket toe camber kit?

 

you don't need the rods unless you drop the car more than 0.5" f/r.

 

meaning anytime you lower a car your F*** on the alignment

but some springs dont drop too much so the alignment isnt too far off and just drive it that way or in some cases purchase aftermarket camber kits to correct it

 

Yeah, I just ordered the Volk Challenge and debating on pulling the trigger on some coilovers, just want to know what I'm in for

 

I have the Tein Flex with EDFC and LOVE IT...had them on for 10,000 miles so far...great for street and track.

 

It seems that with any amount of drop on the G it is highly recommended to get a camber/toe kit for the vehicle. You may even see with your new SF's that you will need a rear kit at stock height. I just recommend getting an alignment reading right away that way you know from day one. Its not a pleasant suprise to find that your brand new tires are toast after only a short period of time.

 

your going to need it regardless so your tire tread will go nice and even and for a long time

 

True, unfortunately, they'll sit in the basement for the rest of the winter, 17's going on with Blizzaks

 

Me too, and no camber problem with it. I did eventually change out the front upper control arms to an adjustable set, and run 3.5 degrees negative on those for the track, then change the shims to get back to street config to save the front tires. The Tein Flex with EDFC is a nice way to ride to and from the track without shaking out your teeth fillings, then dial in the stiffness for the track, then soften up at the end of the day. There are better set ups for track dedicated cars, but for something to enjoy just about the best of both worlds, it is hard to beat.

 

Ed, what front upper control arms did you go with and did you get anything to fix the rear camber issues...I think I'm around 3 degrees back there all of the time...
