We need the specs of your rims to tell you that, but just from looking at the pics, I'm going to say no, you don't need a camber kit (which would really just be washers/shims).

I'm going to say those are 16x7, with an offset of +40 to +42. You can go as low as the S.Tech's and won't have a problem.

looks like your front is tucked enough that you wouldnt need a camber kit

Yea this are 16x7 with +40 offset 195/50/16 tires. Thats good to hear im gonna look into how to shim with washers trick. Thanks.... Now its on to researching which springs are more pleasurable for DD meaning soft/stiff

I'd advise against the shims if you really don't need them (which you won't). Adding negative camber in the rear effectively adds toe-in, which both will cripple your handling and add to accelerated tire wear.
I'm on TRD shocks and Tein S.Tech springs. I love the look (don't mind the ride quality either), but mostly everyone who rides in my car find it too harsh. The MI springs is a fine balance between ride comfort and stance. They're your best bet.

I second this!
My snow tires didn't like negative camber! :cry:
Nice looking Yaris BTW!

Derick youre car looks amaaaaaazing, thats what inspired me to go with black rims. But i think youres are 15inch right? What springs you have or are they coilovers? and also those eye lids are sexy thats next on my list

Mine are 16" too but with 37 off set, with NF210s springs, you can get eye lids with Garm @ MI

I had some one paint them.
NF210 ride quality is perfect for soft commute, and NO extra weight (Subwoofer Box, Loaded with passengers)
Unloaded it's a good combination of comfort and performance, but I really recommend to add a rear Sway-bar for ultimate Yaris experience!
If I do it again, I would go with MI springs or best of all save for coilovers!
NF210 after 2 years of New England weather...
