    anytime you lowered your car you need a camber kit to correct the alignment. if you don't you can kiss them tires gone within a year or less depending on how you drive. Since, i can't afford brand new tires evry year i've opt to get the camber kit =)

    Good work. Looks like you were very diligent. As long as you matched the springs in their seats (ends of the coilspring) with the rubber isolators, you should be golden. If, at any time you hear clunking coming from the back, read up on this post, http://www.club-tc.com/forums/suspension-brakes/8568-clanking-endlinks-fixed.html

    This also would have been an opportune time to paint those rusty binders.

    Sounds like a good place to go. When I went to the Dealership to have mine aligned after I installed my Hotchkis springs, the Service Mgr did not want to do it, "Oh we can't align that car. It does not have Toyota parts and we don't know what to align it to". I told them to use the specs for the TRD springs as it is close that of the Hotchkis. It worked out perfect.
