I'd like a camber kit, please, please, PLEASE!
Hell, I did my best to try to find coilovers with adjustable pillowball mounts for the GS before I settled on whatever. The closest ones I found were the Zeals that sold optional adjustable pillowball mounts, but I wasn't ready to "investigate" if that optional part for the zeal function b coilovers would work for the GS, or if it was an "every-other-car-but-the-GS-option." I did notice that a lot of IS's have coilovers with the adjustable pillowball mount option, so I've been wondering exactly how different are the GS and the IS suspension?

Sounds like someone talking out of their you-know-what with the IS stuff that you mentioned

Well, I think adjustable pillowball mounts is what they're called? Or is it Pillowball uppermounts? That's what I see them being referred to in most aftermarket companys' webpages anyways. I'm not a suspension expert, but I did try to research the topic before I gave up and settled with the Apexi WS's instead.
Here's from the endless webpage endless optional parts
and here's the direct link to their pillow ball-type camber adjustable upper mounts
Oh well, it doesn't matter as long as a camber kit does come out from some reputable company. But it would be nice to know exactly what kind of camber kit design the GS uses so others can go... "ah, I see, so and so car is like that too."

The only Lexus that can do it is an ES250, ES300 and RX300 and probably RX330
