Default The LS460 Adjustable Suspension Thread (Camber kit)

Hi guys,
We are planning on working on adjustable arms for the LS as well as adjustable eccentric bushings since it seems like the UCA front at least fail very quickly.

We will use this thread to gauge interest, get volume estimates and solicit design feedback.

Please post up if you are interested and also if you want more or less camber, what year your vehicle is and what suspension options you have.
Thanks,
Fig

2008 LS460 SWB non-air, currently lowered on springs and planning to go coilovers soon. I want to have the ability to go near OEM specs with camber and have the option to go more negative if I decide to play with wheel fitment.

Here is my current alignment specs...

ill take what he is having i have springs but i might just not even take that route and go with the coilovers. as much adjustability as possible and im sure the others with more knowledge as far as lowering the ls will be more specific on there current problems.

The thread was closed due to non-vendor partcipation, that is why I am starting this thread to collect everything into a forward moving effort.
Perfect information guys, this is exactly what we are looking for.

2007 LS460 w/o air lowered on Megans coilovers. Don't have specs of alignment though. Would love to see a camber kit for the front and rear for this car. Trust me....IT WILL SELL!

2008 LS460L lowered on Datasystems in conjunction with soon to be installed Youzealand x Aragosta Coilovers.

I'd like to achieve MORE camber but still have the ability to set to zero for both the front/rear axles.

As aforementioned in the thread that was previously closed, it'd be great if you guys could create control arms for both camber, toe, similar to how t-demand has done exemplified here:

http://www.t-demand.jp/products/proarm_l02.html



Thanks FIGS.

I have a 2008 SWB with full air setup from UAS/Accuair and I would like more camber with the option of going oem specs if possible.

i'd like to run perhaps -4* front and -5-6* in the rear, but accurate and reliable toe alignment is my biggest want. it looks like t-demand has the same arms for both ls460 and 600h, so i should be ok, i hope... haha
