Default suspension & lowring question

pardon my noobness question but is there an ultimate or rather definative setup for lowering the vehicle and acheiving the best camber solution? ive always just done the springs/alignment route before but now i see so many products out there such as the usrs from rrr, products from figs, adjustable arms from megan etc. did a suspension search but just came up with a bunch of products but wasnt sure if they all served the same purpose? one for camber one to assist in toe-in? preparing to mod my IS-F and this time i just want to do everything right, thanks guys

Depends what you're trying to do and how much you drop, camber, wheels you're trying to run. Camber isn't adjustable on the F so most of those items will give it adjustability. Usrs helps with steering response and the toe out on braking because the bushings r much firmer than stock ones.

Yes that should be sufficient

1in drop in front and you'll be a tad out of spec camber wise, so just depends on what consider a mild drop. Fortunately plenty of options for you if you are going lower.

Perfect suspension setting for cheap.. Swift Springs and RR-Racing USRS.. Both in stock, and local to you.

There's no camber adjustment on our cars? That sounds funny. Thought every car came with some sort of camber adjustment.

Wow, I've never seen that before. My IS300 had camber adjustment. Anyone know why they designed the suspension that way?

if i am not mistaken they designed that way so it can do better around the track and corners so in reality not so good for daily driving lol
