I am guessing that with all of the link devlopment we have done on other Lexus models that this would be straight forward for us to implement without much fabrication. The tapered studs are usually the big hiccup and we have 6 versions currently developed to adapt ball joints to rod ends and make adjustment easy. I am still looking for a rear subframe and the front links to engineer a solution.
Anybody in Colorado, please help!!

Negative camber is a consequence of lowering a car with performance coil springs, custom air suspension or coilovers. I would Google "what is camber car alignment" if you need more details

I'm not gonna lie, as a former Colorado resident who grew up there, I am very disappointed that not one CO CLer has responded to our cry for help or even so much offered to ask around..as a car lover and always wanting to help...I am so frustrated that I can't do anything from Atlanta and if I still lived in Denver, I would of had my car there with the quickness. A 2600 mile road trip is not possible for me with my schedule right now unfortunately..

For all the vendors looking at this, here is some info that may help you in your R&D. This thread has some alignment specs posted post tanabe install and you can see what a 1.8" Front and .08" Rear drop will do to the alignment numbers.

And here is a specific post of my most recent alignment with scanned pdf

Hey folks, just spoke with a real nice guy over at Megan Racing a little while ago and he mentioned they actually had a prototype adjustable setup in work, but during testing on the LS460, it didn't perform to their standards and/or satisfaction over time. So, they are working on other solutions and there is a chance something could be available perhaps this summer. So another potential option is on deck. Hopefully there will be a variety of these for us to choose from as other companies are working toward a solution also, but we need to keep pushing this to make it happen!!!
If the LS460 had more of a MacPherson style strut, they could use the camber plates with their coilovers, but sadly not an option for us...but, at least this is some more encouraging news.

to any vendor looking at this thread. I am willing to pay 5-6-700 dollars for these arms. I want to drop my LS but I want to do it right and without having to wear tires down with such a heavy car

I agree on the price you are willing to pay because i guarantee tires cost wayy more than that!!! I got some michelins ps2 on deck and they aint cheap nor do they last long but the grip is awesome just waiting til these wear down to either jump on pirelli or the ever so popular conti....

Personally, I would be willing to pay $5-700 for each upper control arm if they were made structurally correct. From what I remember looking underneath the car, it almost seems as if Lexus is discouraging the use of aftermarket arms, seeing how the geometry under our cars (specifically the front/rear upper control arms/knuckles) is kinda intimidating.

Oh snap! For real? I honestly don't know much about Megan and their products. I was shown a coil over set on their website that spoke about camber adjustments on the mount and I wanted to learn more and spoke to they guy who answered. At this point, I want a solid solution so I can really enjoy my lowered LS without worrying about tire wear so much. I'm giving it until Jan 2013 for something to come out or I may either go back to stock or just get a motorcycle for my commute lol. My tires seem to be wearing OK for now, but the hot GA roads this summer will be a great test
