i was talking to a mechanic friend of mine and he was telling me that alot of time, if you lower vehicles, you have big problem with camber and you need to buy some new joint things, not actual joints, but i cant remember what the word was he sued, but yeah, i was thinking of getting some teins and some KYB's, were i to straight up install those, and get an alignment, would i have problems, or would i have to buy some other devices as well? thanks!

It depends...some people can get away with not touching the camber and still have good handling and even tire wear...others(like me) need camber kits. Though it's possible that toe settings were causing my poor tire wear, and when I got the car aligned after I installed the camber kit they adjusted toe as well. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
