Default Alignment ... after lowering

For the peeps that lowered thier cars..

I believe the specs for alignment is not out for the 2IS...

so did you do an alignment still? or did not bother to do so?

Any experienced Lexus Master Tech should be able to do a wheel alignment... Even with out the specs..

To my knowledge all Lexus dealerships have the specs already..

I can also tell you there is no camber adjusment for the rear.

Good Luck

I managed to get the specs from the local Lexus dealer. But after putting the car on the alignment rack it was within spec, total numbers. The only adjustment needed was to center the steering wheel.

Doesn't sound like you paid attention to the lecture at the Custom Alignment meet you attended

Corner balance has nothing specifically to do with affecting alignment.

My car was just corner balanced and it has never handled better.

I think you missed something.

And you didn't follow my directions I gave for the Mass Lexodus cruise too.

Talk to me offline about alignment and I'll update you.

Too much to explain by posting it here.
