I thought CS were rebuildable anyway? Why get new ones?
Couple of questions:
1) Why wouldn't TEIN CS last much longer than an OEM shock? (I'll put Bilsteins in next time if I have to keep replacing every 50K.)
2) Why does TEIN advise you not to use their products on actual roads, saying that they're for off-road use only? Is this just a legal thing? Or is there more to it?

I've read a lot on the forums that the 2GS does not have a camber kit available. I just had my Tein CS 2.0 installed yesterday at Exact and John included a front lowering block. He said it would help with camber but I don't think it is adjustable? Seems to have helped though because it is 2 finger gap all around and front wheels are not cambered at all.

The lowering block that Exact sells allows the car to drop 1 inch without doing any other changes and the camber will not change for that i inch of drop. Since you had Tein's installed at the same time, what ever "additional drop you added with the coilovers will add some camber, but it depends on how much more you dropped it beyond the one inch. The difference will be small and your camber change will not be as great as if you didn'f have the block. Not that apparent to tell the difference in camber by just looking at it. It needs to be measured.
This block also has a second advantage in that you will be able to lower your car 1 inch further than what the Tein CS will allow.
I am trying to get John to offer blocks for the rear. This would allow the tires to be slightly tucked when using standard 20" size tires.
