NO, a camber kit isn't needed with any of the 5th gen springs.

Although it is probably a good idea with any aftermarket springs.

Only if you want to waste the cash. Even with the drop of the Tein S. Tech's, the car can still be aligned to within factory specs.

Actually he's right. When I had my car aligned, the guy told me that the camber is slightly off, but factory ones are non-adjustables. So......

I'm running progress and needed no camber kit to bring it in spec. In fact, it was barely out of alignment when I took it in. Save your $.

how low are the progress springs?

You still shouldn't need the kit - they're just slightly lower than Progress. I know of no one running S-techs who needed a camber kit. Someone feel free to jump in if you did.

after I get the Tein-S springs installed, do I need to take my car to a shop to get it aligned?

thanks!

Yup. An alignment is necessary after installing any spring.

If I use my stock struts/shocks with the tein-s how long would it be until I need to replace them?

thanks
