    Sorry no lowered Tacos in this post..

    But I think I'm going to join the darkside and lower my truck like I've wanted to since before I bought it. I've always been about slammed cars, but this will be my first truck that'll be kind of low.

    Currently have the 2007 Base(or Bass) Model Tacoma and a 1990 Lexus LS400 slammed on BC Racing coilovers with Swift springs and a 34kg/32kg spring rate. Going to rob the 18" Acura wheels off the Lexus and throw them on the taco for awhile.




    Did a test fit earlier tonight, it'll look a lot better when it's low




    And some old pics of my old 2012 Corolla that was static on BC Racing coilovers.



    I lied there's a lowered first gen 5 lug in the back ground

    Any of you with a TR lowering kit having problems with negative camber? My shop is telling me to look into a longer upper control arm. Thoughts?

    Are you on factory rims... If not what size? Cause I’m thinking my wheels being so wide up front might be the reason

    Wheel size or width does not effect camber. What specifically did the shop say? And what specs did you end up with? (ie how much out of spec?)

    1.1 degrees of negative camber looks like it falls right into the factory range and is just fine in my book (mine is aligned to right around the max of 1.2-1.3 degrees).

    I do see your caster value is a bit high, but admittedly I do not know how these trucks respond to lowering and how that affects caster.

    Yeah... It was more before they made a minor adjustment.. That being said, the shop said it was at the max to offset the negative camber. I’m pretty much a novice at lowering trucks. The shop was saying the only way to compensate for it being maxed out was a longer upper control arm. Or raised up the truck

    Other than that my truck drives straight

    Ah gotcha. Yeah if you want to go lower at some point you'll definitely need to address it. However as it sits now it should be just about perfect IMO.
