2K2/2K3's with teins, need feedback.

What's up guys.

After searching and reading, it seems that a camber kit or bolts will help in the tire wear. But there are a lot of differences in opinion. Some say you need it some say you don't.

My question is how are your tires wearing? Are they even? Would you recommend just getting the bolts or kit?

How many miles do you have on your current suspension setup?

Thanks in advance.

So the saying " If you drop your car mor that 2 inches you will need camber plates/bolts" does not apply to teins.

Doesn't the front teins drop around 2.2?

Yes and yes...

I have no problems at all with my Maxima or any suspension components/wheels/tires. They are still within the stock specs as of this moment...

I have Teins and I didn't use a camber kit, because I was told not to by all of the various responses I read using the search feature...

Teins, no camber kit, 5000 miles, and no tire wear. I just rotated them a few weeks ago and they still look perfect.

No wear problems either. Plenty of adjustment left according to the guy that did mine. Had them 3 months, 4,000 miles.

I did not cut the bumpstops and did not install camber bolts/plates. So far so good, we'll see...

I did alignment afer about a week I had the teins on. Looking at the print out, the before numbers were pretty much within factroy specs.
But if you want perfect numbers all around, then get camber bolts.
