Some have got the alignment back to OEM specs w/o a camber kit. The rear suspension is a bit difficult to get back to OEM specs the lower you go.

Edit: This thread was posted not to long ago and will answer all your questions/concerns...

Some people say you need a camber get the lower you go, I guess it depends on the guy who is doing your alignment. Im on s-techs and I just installed them myself yesterday, I went to NTB and he was able to get it back in the spec.

He probably ground slots in your struts to do it.

However, you can run -2 degrees if you want with no abnormal wear.. I do. Handles much better that way, which I need for autox. But, you still need to have it aligned to correct toe.

When i got my hotchkis installed, camber was way out. I got it aligned and my tech (was actually one of the cooler Toyota techs I've ever had, actually knew stuff about turbos beyond what toyota says) said that the front he was able to get back into spec however the back was a little out of spec. He said it was so minimally out of spec that it wouldn't effect the car negatively.

^^ I've been rollin on Hotchkis for over a year and I've got no uneven wear. I don't see why you would need a camber kit.
