cant align tires
#16
That's standard on 2nd gen IS, installed at the factory!

These 2IS models might have a bit of an aggressive factory toe setting...BUT, .67 degrees is FAR from within spec.
The front toe is adjustable...see link below showing before/after results from a member having a Lexus dealership do an alignment on his 2IS.

Got my toe problem fixed this morning. Went to Bert's Alignment in Virginia Beach. Everyone (shops and people) recommended him and said he's the best and is the only one able to align a modified wheel setup. Bert is a great guy. Old guy, maybe in his 70's, very knowledgeable and hilarious! He had a whole bunch of tools and showed me how they worked and everything. The alignment setup that he has is a drive on flat rack and an old school light/chart alignment system. Highly recommend this shop if you are in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area. You need to make an appointment though because they are booked almost full every week. I got lucky and a spot opened up for this morning.

It wasn't hard to find this shop. Everyone from Sears to Firestone to Kramer Tire to the ghetto rim shop recommended them right away. Bert was showing me all his different alignment tools and said he can align anything and has all the right tools. He's even aligned 18 wheelers he said. I believe because I did see a big moving truck getting worked on yesterday.

Did you have to buy a camber kit for Bert to align your car? I'm in the same boat I lowered my car on Road Magnets springs with 19' wheels and everywhere I go( Sears, Tire Kingdom, Pepboys) they tell me I need to buy a front and rear camber kit because my tires will have uneven wear? Did Bert mention anything to you about having uneven wear after he aligned the car? sorry for my ignorance, I just don't understand the anything when it comes to TOE /Camber/alignment .
