"standard height" on Tein coilovers are usually lower then stock, so if anything you would want camber bolts or plates on the back, because you can't adjust the rears stock. Just depending on how much of a drop the standard height is, your rear camber may be a touch closer to -2 degrees.
You should have enough adjustability in your stock front bolts.

Camber kit with Tein Flex Coil overs
Hi,
I have the same coilovers set to the longest/tallest allowable setting and am considering a camber kit of some kind. I left the camber adjustment on the top alone. I had the car semi-professionally aligned after installing the tein's myself and getting new tires but I don't think they touched the tops of the rear shock towers. At speed, I get a howling noise from the rear of the car. Could this be solved by adjusting the camber. Could the axles/hubs be at an angle which causes the howling? Ideally, I'm looking for a suspension expert in the lower New York area. (Nassau, Suffolk, or Queens county.
Thanks
Mike

youre supposed to get an alignment after you do ANY and ALL suspension changes
when you get it aligned, get a printout and it will tell you if it needs camber kits or not
but yea you probally will need them but just to be sure....get that alignment
