you dont need camber adjustment on scions. it hardly changes even with insane drops.

I had my 18s on for a year and a half with a 2inch drop and I didn't have any uneven tire wear at all.

Hotbox5 is right, there is no need for them.

the rear tires are the ones that are looking kind of tilted inwards fromt he top and i REALLY hate that. Unless you hard core circuit racing and you have coilovers and urethane bushing, camber usually is NOT a good thing. Especially on the rear tires of a front front car.

eXcitebox Camber is good for drifting and any drift type race that you would get "kudos" for drifting through the corners.

If I have been mislead please correct me, but this is my understanding of it.

to my understanding, a lot of camber is good for drifting, and a small amount (3* or less) can be beneficial... if yo ulook, most race cars run camber.

hotbox05 is right, there is NO camber in the rear as a result of lowering a xA/xB. thats why i put camber plates on my xB in the rear. they also toe-out so the tire doesnt "scrub". the car handles great now.

Umm...yeah. There is no camber adjustment in the rear at all. So they have to be straight.
