RCE blacks? They are super mild springs compared to the Tein S techs. S techs are something like a 3" drop.

Tein **** Techs are way harsher and drop more than RCE Blacks. Its literally Black and White difference.

What are you saying is too much?

If its anything -2.5 or under in the rear for camber then I wouldn't consider that a problem.
GDs only have toe adjustment in the rear. I figure it's the same for the newer cars.

I wouldnt know lol I didnt even look at Tein I was like.. I need springs that I are meant for how I drive.. I wasnt looking for stance I was looking more for handling But regardless.. I am going to now have a shopping cart ready for a couple things like wheels/tires ( will most likely do it this summer ) and if needed the lateral links.. they said the front was fine and it feels great so now its the waiting game to determine what I need and how im going to pay it off (thankfully I just got this quick job that is paying me good money to take pictures..)

Only thing I see wrong is you have more camber in the rear then the front. Otherwise the rear isnt terrible honestly. I would want both sides around -1.7 or so but thats about it for the rear.. The toe honestly should be zeroed out but again its not bad. Its within spec.

I am a bit **** though about it being done correct so I'm assuming to fix the camber I need to get the lateral links since mine is fixed otherwise it'll chew through my tires as I understood it.. I'll make a thread in a bit to make my final choice.

Again, toe kills tires. Not camber.

No need for a thread. Only need for lateral links is to get rid of all that camber in the rear so your car can handle better
