negative camber
I installed H&R springs but have problems with alignment (camber is negative). Does anyone know who makes a camber kit?

The camber is adjustable on the is300. I have H&R springs on my car. After putting the spring on the camber was way off. I adjusted it myself but i reccomend that you bring it to someone thats knows about alighnment if you don't know what you're doing. It shoildn't cost too much but i don't think you should go to lexus becuase they'll rip you off.

negative camber
After aligning my car (4 wheel alignment), I still have negative camber. Discount tires said they couln't adjust it to have a positive camber. They said a camber kit is needed to adjust it any further.

Raul,
The IS 300 has eccentric bolts that allow 180 degrees of adjustment. This adjustment has a range of about + or - 1.0/1.5 degrees of camber. If your springs dropped the car -2.0 degrees the best you are going to do is -.5 or -1.0 degrees.
These numbers shouldn't affect tire wear too much. Just make sure your toe is set to zero on the nose and you adjust to as little negative camber as possible.
Hope this helps.
