Any one get the factory lowering (eibach springs) and then have uneven tire wear (Camber wear) ???

All 4 tires are going bald on the insides.. all evenly

Lexus told me it was an alignment issue but when i took it to a local tire shop the guy said it was a Camber adjustment and that a camber kit should of been installed and the adjustment can't be made with out the kit..

So what i am asking is has any one else had this issue.. and is it true that a camber kit should of been installed? If so imma go after lexus for the tire costs.... any help would be great thanks..

Well my car is pretty low, and I dont really have any issues cause i been flipping my wheels left and right to prevent tire wears every 3 thousand miles. Its been helping a lot. I also did my alignment twice already. GL

your toe might be out of spec. Did you get an alignment right after the drop?

Any pics of the drop? How far dropped is it?

toe will wear your tires worst than camber. I've got -2.1 front and -2.5 rear camber with perfect toe and my wear is not that bad. You just have to keep an eye on it and get the tires flipped before you wear it down to belt or cause nipples in the side wall.

and Damn phil888, you flipping every 3k miles? Thats seems like a waste of money seeing as it cost at least $20 per wheel to get it dismounted and remounted and not to mention the bead stretch you put those tires through.

i didn't know you could get your car lowered from the factory....was that an option?

He is probably reffering to a F-Sport equipped car off the lot. SInce the F-Sport springs are most likely made by Eibach. For those that have the F-Sport or Eibach drop aqnd DO NOT have camber wear, can you please post your alignment specs for toe and camber after lowering? I know you cannot adjust camber, but what toe setting range works best with the 1" drop?

I know the factory toe specs are big enough to drive an LS600 through.

What are you running for toe f/r? I've got a fair bit of tramlining and I would like to be able to suggest a target for them to help square things up.
