Hey guys, wondering if there is anything out there for camber adjustment on the front wheels. I need more in order to clear my fenders and I'm running -2.4 front left and -1.8 front right naturally. I've looked and haven't found anything. And yes, I'm aware of SPC's product, but there is no way I'm going to pay $300 for two ball joints that are barely adjustable for no camber. Help is greatly appreciated

How about spending $185 for the ball joints? Is that a start?

It seems that their website says about $150 for EACH ball joint, and although $185 seems appealing, I'm already sitting far about -1.5 degrees on both wheels; which is where the SPC ball joints max out at...

Well I'm not much help in that department, but if you decide to start with the ball joints, here is a link on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPC-LEXUS-IS...ht_4226wt_1141

Good luck!

Any idea why your fronts are so different with the measurement? I'm sitting at both 1.8 degrees right now up front. I've got SPC ball joints sitting the garage collection dust. With the BFG KDWs I'm running, they are not being ate up by the camber...yet. I'm sitting at 20k miles on these tires with no ill-effects yet. Other tires will differ though I'm sure...but with the added 1.5 degrees of adjustment, you'd be in OE spec territory with the SPC ball joints.

For one thing, with the difference between right and left cambers... The alignment and geometry needs to be corrected.

The ball joints are adjustable 1.5 degrees either positive or negative. That means if ur at -2 now u can go -3.5. With that said keep in mind if ur slammed the ball joints will bang against ur inner fender well cuz they are larger than stock.

So.....get the ball joints or no? I wouldn't consider my car slammed and I am on the factory 18s.

what is unclear?

its up to you....i really dont know how low you are compared to how low i was...i was running 19s and my front lip was about 3" off the ground and it was hitting. i called spc and the guy said to shave where it was hitting and i didnt wanna do that

NafisC

Yeah, I am the same, but I'm about 4" off the ground, but I don't have my lip on yet. Anyone know how much a front lip will lower the front of the car? And can anyone else confirm the SPC kit adding or subtracting 1.5 degrees? Thanks MashinA

The front lip will not adjust how high or low your actual car is, just how close the bumper is to the pavement.

For starters, being 4" off the ground with no front lip is low... the SPC ball joints will definitely bang , and yes I just sold a set of them and can confirm they do indeed +-1.5 degrees on top of existing camber numbers

NafisC

I'm aware it doesn't adjust anything, but how far down does the bottom of the lip reach beyond the bottom of the front bumper?

NafisC

No doubt. The ACTUAL bottom of my car (plastic mud guards before the wheel well) is about 2" off the ground. It sounds like there is no possible way I can avoid banging the joints, but when do they generally bang the fender? I've cut out a lot of the fender liner, and will most likely remove the rest because of my offest, but does it hit the actual steel of the fender or just the liner? Does contact occur just on suspension rebound, or hard turns up/down inclines?
Thanks
