Guys/gals....I just had to put 2 Toyota Celsiors in my SH*T BOX. 1st the roof cracks on one while i was LIGHTLY removing paint...then on the 2nd one, either the suspension is crap...or I was just too tired of modeling for the night..somehow I F'ed it up...I ended up taking both the front and rear suspensions off like 5 times each and re-doing them over and over again and the wheels never ever sat right...What am I doing wrong? I still have 2 Super Woofers and a Junction Produce Celsiors coming......so can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong on these suspensions so I dont have to kit bash any more Celsiors!!!! Thanks!

If you are talking about the camber they are made that way. Atleast the 2 I have are that way and its worse if you use the lowered suspension...

There is a set of springs and screws that adjust the height of the suspension. Then there is a set of springs and screws to adjust the camber. It takes some tweaking to get the car to sit right but otherwise it's not too complicated.
EDIT:
To get my Celsior (Parkin' Lot Pimpin') dumped without the obnoxious wheel camber I didn't even use the height adjusting springs (front or rear). I just used the screws and threaded them all the way in. From there I was able to tweak the front camber springs to my liking. In the rear I didn't use springs. The simple weight of the car gave the perfect camber.
My car is supposed to have airbags so with a lowered strret effect you would use the height adjust springs. You can even cut them down if you'd like but the point is a realistic stance takes some diddling around but very do-able.
After all that, my Celsior sits like this......

Ok, but....the front, i didnt have much trouble. The thing that made me so aggrivated was the rear. I think it had to do with the way I put the brakes on...when i screwed down the outer screw(closest to the wheel) the wheel would push out to the right....i was like wtf...it looked horrible...The only thing I think that happened was that my super glue gunked up cuz I accidently used a bit much for the little (stick) on the brake for the wheels to go over, and it caused when I applied the brake, to sit funny. Has this happened to any one?
nis k.a.------btw non of these cars i totolled I bought from you thank god:) Thanks so much for the kits and the advise..I will do this on my next Celsiors, plus I ordered the kit I messed LN again...Its the Vlene Heroism w/ the 20inch Bersaglio's (sp?)

The screws on the inner most portion adjust the ride height.
The screws on the control arms of the suspension adjust the camber.
The screws on the control arms of the suspension adjust the camber.
