Default Suspension Question

posted this on vipstylecars also...

Okay all u ls430 peeps....I need to know what is the part number (or what is it called) for that OEM suspension part for camber correction. Hopefully Freddie can chime in since he's the one that told me about it . I was told that u can buy this part which is static but it goes up to -3 camber correction. I want to find out if this might be a more cost effective way of getting my wheels fitted vs the $2500+ nagisa arms that are supposedly in production.

lemme know. thanks.

OEM Camber correction studs and bushings are designed to 'repair' cars after an accident or collision that bends the frame out of alignment and correct camber/caster cannot be achieved. It a very limited adjustment range. If the wheel clearance issue is minor (few millimeters) it may be all you need. However if drastic by more than that, then you will need to source aftermarket parts to drastically alter it.

all you gotta do is go dwon to lexus and ask the parts rep to look up the lower rear suspension and there should be a pic of those arms along with the degree of camber that they offer. if i remember correctly they only have 3 different arms available one positive, one negative and one standard.
