yeah your all good keeping it at around that minimum .7 like I said could even go .5. I don't remember if you had told me if you had changed rear bushes when you did the fronts. If not would be worth looking at them to make sure they are not worn out, and causing extra toe out under load. That would cause inside edge wear too.
i will check it Cole, the only thing I changed in the rear are the sway bar bushings!
@Bgw70 After you installed the SPC rear camber kit, did you have to install any adjustable toe link ?
As I understand the SPC rear kit add 1 positive degree to the original -1.5 to make it -0.5 camber. I haven't lowered the car nor intended to do so but the bigger rear tires (285/35/19) are showing a very bad sign, and I really don't want to ruin the new set of tires I just installed.
Thanks.

i did not and this kit did the trick to minimize the tire wear I previously experienced.
i ruined my first set of tires but this set is wearing evenly.

Hello @Bgw70 , do you remember if you had to drill/dremel the lower control arm hole to make it a little bigger ? I installed mine but couldn't adjust much. I'm doing a research right now and it seems like we have to make that elongate hole a little bigger to archive that promising +1.0 camber. Thanks.

I am sorry but I do not because I had a mechanic install them…they did do the trick and I achieved the alignment I wanted.
I have a question to anyone who has used the SPC rear camber kit 67510 to help improve negative camber. I just put new OEM shocks and springs on all four corners (Megazip). However my new rear camber alignment results are -1.9 degrees. The SPC 67510 kit is suppose to give me plus 1.0 degrees of additional camber. That should get me to -0.9 degrees. I really would like -0.5 degrees.
This is my plan. Seeing that I have to elongate the slot used by the oval cam adjustment bolt in the lower control arm to make room for the 67510 why not elongate the slot even further than required and then spot weld the 67510. In other words, if I have to elongate the slot ½ inch just to fit the 67510, why not elongate the slot an extra ¼ inch to gain another 0.5 degrees of positive camber adjustment. What are your thoughts?
Hello Ken,
If you can get -1.0 camber for the rear, that's great for this car. I'm at -1.9 even with the SPC kit due to lowering (or the alignment tech doesn't know what he's doing). My rear tire are too big (285) so it's even so obvious just looking at those pictures
I did enlarge elongate hole a little bit further. You can't adjust too much camber with SPC kit, toe (the other component) need to be inline as well.
If you have everything stock, you should be able to set it at -1.0 w/o the kit. I believe that's the Lexus numbers.
Hi digitatc,
My SC430 is totally stock including the tire sizes. Lexus specs are -0.67 to -1.67 degrees of camber. And yet the best I can get is -1.9 degrees of camber.
I do understand that in changing the camber the toe changes too. So I am going to start with the SPC 67510 kit for that + 1.0 degree improvement. Then I am going to see how much that changed the toe. Then I will estimate how much more toe change might occur due to trying to get to -0.5 camber. Then I am going to find and purchase an aftermarket toe kit that states that it can improve the toe by that amount I need. I am just too cheap to buy new ties every year!
