^ not from the bottom:P haha...

Okay here are more pics and info!

Rear Camber arms are in fact the same part numbers as the 2gen ISx50. I currently have, not yet installed, both camber arms and toe as shown in this pic. I will install these when my rear BBK kit arrives so I can do them all at once. Huge Thank You to Darrel from Sewell Lexus for his help with figuring this out.



So yesterday I flushed out my coolant and cleaned my throttle body. Nothing to exciting to see here...

No they do not, but the same part number is used on the GS and IS. I have compared them through PDF of both rear suspension parts. Darrel was a big help on this. I had an IS before the GS and I figured they were the same.

I will post how it goes once I get them installed. Found one option for the fronts but I'm not sold on it. Trying to find something else.

passnu2: are you saying that if I bought a camber kit for the isx50 that it would fit my GS no problem?

Ah...good to know that they're the same. Design-wise they are identical. Why didn't others think of this?!?! ugh! But what really sucks about the rear suspension design is that you need both upper arms for camber adjustment. Dumb

LOL, Hey Mike I didn't even pay attention to the box first go around until Sag pointed it out, is this the same box? If it is now i'm LMAO. I can picture this hanging out of your wife's car (lol).
