Just want to know If anyone has had any issues when dropping your tC. I know they sell adjustable camber links from hotchkis. But I don't know if I will need them to get it all squared back up when I do my drop.

There are always issues when lowering any car. You will not need a camber kit when dropping with springs unless you're running either taller rims, or wider rims, then you will need a camber kit to help prevent rub. I believe the factory camber adjustment will allow you to go a max of -1.4 in the rear, that's what I have mine set at. I'm also lowered on coilovers so my front camber can be adjusted even greater, but I just have it at -1.1 .

Hope that helps. Post up any more questions, and of course pics when she's lowered!

I didn't need camber links for an S-Tech drop. YMMV.

Awesome, I have the TRD 18 X 7.5 wheels. I am going with the hotchkis TVS stage 1 kit. I will order the Hotchkis camber kit to be safe since the drop will be 1.9R and 1.7F. The TRD wheels ar2 .5" wider the the 17's. thanks for the heads up and I will post pictures soon.

I have the Stechs and i have 18x8 rims with 225/45/18 tires without and adjustment kit and i dont have any problems with my wheels rubbing. I also cut my bump stops when i installed my springs so its super low.
