please post a link to the camber kit. I hope you don't post a link to RCAs or the lowering L blocks because those are not camber kits. Besides those only help out in the front, what about the rear? Why don't you get the camber kit your self, so you stop wearing one out four tires?

Maybe it's not worth it for you, but that link would still be useful to a lot of people. I haven't seen or heard of a very effective camber kit made for the 2GS. So if you can, please enlighten us with this piece for valuable information.

ok well I thought about it and im willing to throw off the camber to get the right look. Basically I want to fit the most wheel in the wheel wells without cutting the fenders..its just something I cant get myself to do to the car. So im willing to roll the fenders and throw off the camber if thats what it takes to fit a fat 19" both front and back.

Ok well I do want a mild stretch. Suspension will be coilovers. And I do not want to shave fenders, but I wont mind getting them rolled. I also need it to clear front LS BBK. Id like to keep camber pretty close to 0..-1..-2, just so I dont eat through tires, but I do like the negative camber look. The wheel im currently drooling over is a bbs lm, but the actual bbs is out of question due ot the price. So next option would be the luff m1. Would any of the following specs work on my car?
Size: 19x8.5
Finish: Silver Painted
BP 2: 5x114.3
Offset: 22
Size: 19x10.5
Finish: Silver Painted
BP 2: 5x114.3
Offset: 22
thanks.

I have had my rear rolled but very Minor It would have wrinkled the rear fender area ... I will be shaving it next ... (avoided but very needed)
Most of the guys in here posting have very good information for you .... I have been asking many questions and they have helped out alot ..

I completely "F" up one of the fenders for rolling it. Trust me and many of the guys here, cut it or go with a high offset wheel that will not require any fender mods.
You can still fill the wheel well and tuck tire with a mid to high 30s offset and not need to do anything to the fenders. Of course this depends on how wide the wheel is.

I haven't personally checked on the GS, but I remember when I had my 6th gen Celica I was doing suspension work, I had trouble finding parts, but I was able to stop in and pick up an adjustable camber kit from a local autozone with no hassle at all.
Just drop into a local shop and see if they have a kit.

like the Fonz says, "heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
this topic has beaten enough, hasnt it? Like Fonz said, get wheels w/mid to hi 30's offsets and you should be able to slam it nicely. My rear is very very conservative on 10" and i could probably slam it to the lip with barely any fender mods...
...well, almost to the lip, hehehe
