Hi Fellow NF210 owners,

I'm thinking of getting these springs. I'm just a little worried about the camber since there isn't a kit for our cars. Can someone please post a rear angle pic of the rear wheel? I'd like to get an idea of how bad the camber is.

Thanks!!

The NF's have a very conservative drop therefore camber is really a small issue with those springs. Camber will be an issue the lower you go from stock regardless. I'd be more concerned with it if you're dropping as low as the DF's.

I have Tanabes on my 06 GS. You can't really see the angle of the rear wheels from a pic. Gotta see it in person. Flipside909 is right, it's not too bad, but you'll still wear out the inside tread. Until someone comes up with a camber kit, we all just have to pay to play!

Or you can go to a good alignment shop, one that will loosen the whole suspension and put your camber back in spec.
When I got my NF210 for my GS450h, it was way out of spec after the installation, then after a couple of weeks I got it aligned and was still out of spec, then the Lexus dealer sent it to a specialty shop that did put it back in spec, no inner back tire wear.

thats good to know that the camber isn't too bad on the NFs. I still would like to see a picture if anyone has one. Do any of you guys live in Orange County?

mcamson

anyone with rear angle pics?

I can get you some pix, but define rear angle.. from the corner of the rear bumper? straight from the back of the car?

mcamson

yeah as many from the back as you can post. Thanks sush1a!

The car naturally has camber issues. Before I did any drop with new rims I was riding on tires that had metal exposed on the inner part of the tires on all stock equip.
Now after year with the drop, I have inner wear again on my tires. Now b/c i had bi directional tires and have the rims staggered, I was able to make the Rear Left TIRE switched to the Rear RIGHT wheel so the tread that used to be on the inner part of the left wheel now is the outer wheel on the right side. I'll be curious how many more miles this will last but i was at 18K on those tires when I just made that switch.
here is one pic i found although its probably not what you are looking for

this was the tire that used to be on the inner part of the right rear wheel but is now the outer tire on the left side. maybe kind of hard to see...
I have had the car aligned 2x in the last 12 months but still have fairly bad inner wear
