No Camber adjustments!
Correct me if Im wrong, but the new 2IS and 3GS do not come with factory camber adjustments. Only Toe. Now why would Lexus go a cut corners like that... ???
For those that have lowered their cars, are you guys using any camber kits?

Welcome to the club. None of the Infiniti G35s have ever had Camber adjustments and it has been playing havoc with both the standard cars with alignment and feathering issues as well as modified cars. The only way around it is camber kits which can get pretty pricey.
hmm...thats almost hard to believe

There is a camber adjustment for the AWD not sure about RWD's. I printed a few documents from the Lexus technical website a while back. I posted some scanned images of the documents. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...49#post1841749
I am not using any camber kits. With the subtle drop of the NF210's I don't think it's worth adding an additional adjusting suspension component and I don't drive the car hard.

and btw, no camber adjustment is one thing, but as long as you adjust the toe settings accordingly (read, i am not talking about stock spec), you can minimize the inside wear
my gs400 is lowered a lot, but i don't really have any problem on inside wear. that's coz' the toe is set right

whether your drive the car hard or not...the tires will wear uneven--even though you think it drives perfecetly aligned (from toe in/out adj) it will be affected...a couple friends of mine would flip the tires from side to side every 3 months so that they wear evenly--but that itself can get crazy

Are there any camber kits available for the 3rd gen GS yet? I just got back from getting my car aligned since I have the TEIN SS but the front wheels are .9 - 1.0 off from the stock specs. The rears close but still not within specs.
