Depending on how much lowering you're planning on doing, you definitely need a camber kit. You need to utilize your tires efficiently for sufficient handling.

I've lowered my Evo with Tein S Tech springs for about 2 months now, tires and handling are doing pretty good. The car doesn't pull to either left or right. Haven't done any alignment.

Ok, Did my lowering using TEIN S-TECH last week.

For those who lowered their evo with TEIN S-TECH, do u need camber kit?

I heard that evo's stock rear camber kit is adjustable...is that true?

yes, camber is adjustable at all 4 corners...

a good alignment shop should be able to make the adjustments for you...

save for some coilovers. your handling will be affected without properly corner weighting the vehicle. The stock EVO suspension is fantastic, and by tampering with the ride height, the struts will be out of whack.

I can attest to that. I just lowered the car with tanabe springs and it drove all sloppy like a truck. Until I got an alignment done and they adjusted the toe in the rear.
