How do you adjust the camber to 0 degrees? Do you have to take it to a shop or can it be done at home without lots of special tools?

No camber adjustment on the SC.... a big complaint from those of us w/larger aftermarket wheels/tires, especially when lowered .

Maybe the car was lowered before you saw it, then put back to stock height now that it's for sale?

Your kidding? No camber adjustment? I just asked the lexus service at the dealer and they said they could do it (change to 0 degrees) for $99.

So if I invest in larger wheels and tires (20 in), I will be forced to have the tires wear out prematurely?

That's not good. I was hoping to find 400 wear rated tires and get 40,000 out of them. At over $300 a tire, we should get a few miles out of them.
